TIME TO PASTRY!
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Boil a full kettle. Place 160ml (about ⅔) of the flour in a bowl. Using your fingers, rub the Butter cubes into the flour. The final mixture should look like coarse breadcrumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk 1 egg and a pinch of salt. Using a fork, mix in ½ of the egg into the flour mixture. Using your hands, bring the dough together. You don’t want to over knead the mixture! Wrap in cling wrap and set aside in the fridge.
PIE FILLING
Place a pot over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced Onion for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Add the lamb chunks and the rub and fry for 2-3 minutes, shifting as they colour. Whisk in 1 tbsp of the remaining flour and the red wine, until the flour is fully incorporated. Add the beef stock, the rinsed thyme, 100ml of boiling water, and the tomato paste. Simmer, uncovered, for about 4 minutes, until the lamb is soft and the sauce has reduced. If the lamb is not soft, add another splash of water and continue simmering until soft. Season to taste and remove the thyme stalk.
POT PIE PERFECTION
Sprinkle some of the remaining flour on a flat surface. Remove the pastry from the fridge and place on top of the sprinkled flour. Dust a rolling pin (or bottle!) and use to roll out the dough to 5mm thick. Spoon the pie filling into either individual ramekins or a larger oven-proof dish. Carefully lay the rolled out shortcrust pastry on top of the pie filling, trim off any extra, and push down the edges to seal. Lightly brush the top of the pastry with milk and use a knife to pierce a hole in the center of the pastry. Bake in the hot oven for 15-20 minutes, until the pastry is golden and cooked through.
WORLD Peas
Submerge the Peas in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until plump and heated through. Drain on completion and place in a bowl. Just before serving, add the rinsed salad leaves to the bowl along with a drizzle of oil and seasoning.
