Sweet Potato Porky Pie – A Classic Recipe With a Twist!

Method

Make it together.

1. You will need a deep, ovenproof dish, a large saucepan with a lid, and a large pan.
2. Preheat the oven to 180C/gas mark 4.
3. Peel and chop the potatoes and boil in a large saucepan with a lid for around 25 minutes until potatoes are soft.
4. Crush the garlic, peel and chop the onion and carrots.
5. Put a large pan on a medium heat with a little oil, brown the onion, carrot and garlic for about 5 minutes.
6. Add the pork mince and fry until the mince is cooked, breaking it up as you cook it. Drain off any excess fat.
7. Sprinkle in your fresh (or dried) herbs and pour in the chicken stock.
8. Simmer over a low heat for around 15 minutes, then season with salt and pepper.
9. Next, make up the cornflour paste by adding 2 tsp of cornflour to a tiny drop of cold water in a cup. Stir into the mince until the gravy has thickened.
10. When the potatoes are cooked, mash them really well, adding in the butter as you go.
11. Stir in the milk and give them a final mash.
12. Transfer the pork mince to the ovenproof dish and top with the mash.
13. And finally, sprinkle the grated cheese on top with a sprinkle of salt and bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until the top is golden.
