Meat and Potato Comfort

There is something deeply comforting about meat and potatoes. Whether it is roast, fried, boiled, sautéed or barbecued, a meat and potato combo = comfort. 

It is even more comforting when the meat and potatoes are wrapped up in pastry. A good pie is just right for wet, wintery weather.

I made this meat and potato pie from a Paul Hollywood recipe.

It was lovely but I think I prefer pie crust at the bottom and the top. In this recipe the pie crust is only for topping.

I made the filling and added extra herbs and seasoning but I should have left some of the sauce in the pie. I managed to make a decent pastry. I am not a great fan of making pastry.

 but this turned out ok. I didn't trim it. When the pie was ready I just broke of the edges and ate them. Why waste good pie crust?

All in all it was a very nice dish, and delicious with broccoli 🥦 😋 👌.
