Ingredients
- 450g premium ‘Butchers’ style sausages, sausage meat removed
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
- Seasoning
- 2-4 pears, peeled, cored and quartered (can be left whole and placed in pie – cook really well and look very impressive)
- ½ teaspoon runny honey
- 1x 500g packet prepared puff pastry
- Egg and milk beaten together, for glaze
Method
1
Preheat oven to 180°C, 160°C Fan, Gas Mark 4.
2
In a large bwl mix together the sausage meat with parsley and seasoning.
3
Divide meat mixture between 2-4 individual pie dishes (about 250ml pie size) and lightly squash half the meat into the bottom of each dish.
4
Place two pear quarters on top of meat mixture (or the whole pear) and drizzle with runny honey. Top with remaining sausage meat.
5
Divide the puff pastry into 2-4 depending on number of dishes and roll out pastry to make a lid for each pie. Place pastry on top of pie and brush with egg and milk.
6
Bake in the oven for 40-50 minutes or until pastry is well golden.
7
Serve hot with a large heap of seasonal greens, or cold in a large wedge with your favourite chutney.
