Fidget Pie

Here's a receipe using spuds, apples and gammon - it might be useful for those who like using this cheap cut of meat.

Prep Time 30mins, Cooking 1hr 15mins

Ingredients;

450g Potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

350g diced gammon, rind and fat removed

2 large onions, peeled and sliced

3 large cooking apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced

2 teaspoons sugar

1 teaspoon fresh thyme

Salt & pepper

300ml Stock (pork or lamb can be used)

225g Shortcrust pastry

Method;

Add layers of gammon then onion then apple and a sprinkle of sugar to a litre sized pie dish, and repeat the layering until it is full ending with a layer of gammon.

Sprinkle with thyme and season generously.

Pour over the stock just to the level of the filling.

Top with pastry, rolled to a thickness of about 5mm.

Place on the top shelf of an oven pre-heated to 180° (Gas mark 4) for about 20 minutes.

Then move the pie to the bottom shelf and cook for a further 50 minutes.

The pie is absolutely delicious - best served hot with seasonal veg.

I love Fidget Pie, it's great to clear up orchard apples

I have to admit though that I go for the West Country version and use medium dry cider instead of stock and I add a wee bit of single cream in the mix.
