How to Cook Country Lamb Pie
- Trim off any excess fat from the lamb and cut it into bite-size cubes. Peel and core the apple and dice it. Peel and chop the onion and dice the cheese.
- Roll out about two-thirds of the pastry on a floured surface. Use this to line the base and sides of an 8" (20cm) flan ring. Mix the meat with the flour, apple, onion, blue cheese and tarragon, season well with salt and freshly-ground black pepper then turn the mixture into the lined tin and add the lamb stock. (Use one teaspoon of dried tarragon if fresh is not available)
- Roll out the remaining pastry and use it to cover the pie, sealing the edges well (you can use the pastry trimmings to decorate the top). Beat the egg and brush the pastry with egg glaze
- Bake the pie in a preheated moderately hot oven (Mk 5 - 375ºF - 190ºC) for 20 minutes then reduce the heat to moderate (Mk 3 - 325ºF - 170ºC) and cook for a further 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot or cold.

You can freeze the pie if you wish. Store for up to four weeks, thaw overnight then serve as required.
Reviews of Country Lamb Pie
![]() My father used to rave about a country lamb pie that my grandmother made in the winter time. I never did get to see or taste it, but the description was almost exactly like this recipe (including the blue cheese). So I gave it a try and guess what? My sons love it and have promised to pass the recipe down to their kids when they get round to having any! roseT (6 reviews) |
![]() You obviously wrote this for me, as I just happened to have a shoulder of lamb laying around in the freezer! After making chili, meatloaf, meatballs, a sort of shepherd’s pie with yuca, and a ragu with porcini mushrooms, I was almost starting to run out of inspiration. Then this! Everybody just loved it. I think this cold weather we’re having is going to stick around long enough to make these meat pies seem like a darn good repeat idea. bushy (3 reviews) |

A nostalgic thrifty dish that's rich and nutritious - serve the gravy drizzled over fluffy mashed potato. Absolutely fabulous on a cold winter's day.

Stir-Fried Lamb with Garlic is a great way to prepare lamb with lots of garlic and spring onions (scallions) to balance the strong taste of the lamb.

For me, Lamb Chops are always a delight, whether pan cooked with just a hint of mint, or grilled or barbequed with a marinade like this one.
