Method for Peppered Mushroom and Stilton Pie

Firstly, make the shortcrust pastry as follows.  Blend the flour, butter and egg together until the mixture comes together into a dough ball.  If you have a blender it's far easier and quicker to do this.  Add a few drops of milk if needed to bind the dough.

Wrap the dough ball in cling film and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.



Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the onion, carrot and mushrooms and fry for 3-4 minutes or until soft.



Add the tomato puree and mix well, then continue to cook for another four to five minutes.

Add the soy sauce, green peppercorns and stock, then bring the mixture to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the liquid has reduced by half.



Divide the mixture in half and fill the pie dishes.  Sprinkle the crumbled stilton over the top.



Divide the pastry in half, and roll out to fit the top of the pie dishes.  Brush the sides of the dishes with the beaten egg, then cover the top of each dish with the pastry, trim and brush with beaten egg.

Make some holes in the top of the pies to allow the steam to be released. Bake the pies for 18-20 minutes or until they are golden brown.



Serve the pie with potatoes and fresh vegetable of your choice.

Very nice to have a pastry pie with gravy like sauce which is something that's missed when u don't eat meat.  Make sure you get a nice strong creamy stilton and not one that's salty.  Nice with potatoes, leek & boursin cheese mash, YUM!
