INSTRUCTIONS
Traditionally this layered pie is best made with game. Failing a
supply of venison or pheasant it can be made with a mixture of meats
and poultry as is this recipe.
Servings: 8 to 10
Pastry for double crust pie Cut chicken, beef and pork into 1 inch
cubes and place in a large bowl. Combine with onions; cover and
refrigerate for at least 12 hours or overnight.
Arrange salt pork evenly in the bottom of a 3 quart casserole,
preferably cast iron with a cover. Layer with 1/3 of the meat
mixture and 1/3 of the potatoes; season with 1/3 of salt, pepper and
spices. Roll out half of the pastry slightly thicker than for a
normal pie and arrange on the potato layer, cutting a small hole in
the centre. Repeat with 2 more layers of meat and potatoes seasoned
with salt, pepper and spices. Cover with remaining pastry, cutting a
small hole in the centre.
Slowly add enough chicken stock through the hole until liquid appears.
Cover dish and bake in a preheated 400 deg F oven for 45 minutes or
until liquid simmers. Reduce temperature to 250 deg F and continue
to bake, covered, for 5 to 6 hours more or until top crust is a rich
golden brown.

A Message from our Provider:
“Let us thank God heartily as often as we pray that we have His Spirit in us to teach us to pray. Thanksgiving will draw our hearts out to God and keep us engaged with Him; it will take our attention from ourselves and give the Spirit room in our hearts. #Andrew Murray”
