Teviotdale Pie
Originating in the Borders where good meat is taken for granted, this dish is a kind of suet pie which makes a small amount of meat go a long way. Vegetables can be incorporated with the meat under the suet crust, making it a true one-pot meal if liked.
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean minced beef
- 1 medium onion skinned and chopped
- 1/2 pint beef stock
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- salt and pepper
- 8 oz self-raising flour
- 1 oz cornflour
- 3 oz shredded beef suet
- 1/2 pint fresh milk
Instructions
- Put the meat in a large saucepan, preferably nonstick, over medium heat and cook in its own fat until beginning to brown. Add the onion and cook for a further 5 minutes until softened.
- Add the stock and Worcestershire sauce. Season to taste and simmer for 15 - 20 minutes.
- Put the self-raising flour, cornflour and suet in a bowl, then gradually stir in the milk to form a thick batter. Season well.
