Left Over Individual Pot Roast Pies

I had some pot roast leftover and thought individual pies would be perfect, makes for an easy dinner and Scott could take one to work the next day.

I made these in a pie maker so I followed the manufacturers instructions.

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil

1 onion, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, crushed

left over beef, veg and gravy

200 ml beef stock

100 g frozen mixed vegetables

1/2 tbsp Worcester sauce

1 tbsp flour

4 sheets shortcrust pastry for bottom

2 sheets puff pastry for tops

Method

1. Heat oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add onions and garlic. Cook until softened. Add beef and veg. Fry for 1-2 minutes. Add stock and Worcester sauce. Allow to come to a steady simmer.

2. Mix flour with a little water to make a paste. Add to pan. Simmer until thickened. Season to taste.

3. Cut out pastry into rounds to fit the pie maker or pie tins. Place shortcrust pastry on bottom layer. Fill base with meat filling. Top with puff pastry. Cook according to pie maker instructions.

Enjoy.

Hickory-Honey Ham...Christmas With The Kranks

I got this Christmas movie cookbook during our 2022 holiday to LA see here and I still haven't made anything from it, so for our Christmas in July, I thought I would try the Hickory-Honey ham from the movie Christmas with The Kranks. Scenes from the movie where Nora is running towards the last ham in the store, only to be outsmarted by an elderly lady. I managed to get a couple of reduced shoulder hams from woolies back in May so this gave me an excuse to try a recipe from the book. We also got some Hickory smoking chips for the BBQ. It is a ham that has been smoked over Hickory wood chips for several hours, served with a honey gravy, not out of a tin which it is in the movie. Ingredients 8 cups hickory or other hardwood chips 2 large aluminum foil pans 1 (4kg) fully cooked bone in ham 1/4 cup salted butter 1 shallot, minced 1/3 cup honey 1/4 cup dark brown sugar 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard 1 tsp ground ginger 1/...
