Tuesday 27 November - Pie

We had a lot of the ragu sauce left over from Sunday night, so the plan was to make cottage pie. The boys however fancied proper pies, so I made some shortcrust pastry for them, and some mash for my pie.

I used individual enamel pie dishes, and topped the meat with some grated mozzarella for the pastry ones.

Some potato was mashed and added to my portion, it then had butter and milk added for reheating later to be served with the pastry versions

 

I topped the potato version with a sprinkle of half fat cheddar, and just brushed the pastry ones with egg.

These were served with steamed cabbage and peas, along with the buttery mash for those not on low fat eating plans.
