MIX THE DOUGH
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Boil a kettle. Place 160ml [320ml]|#7DA0D7 (about ⅔) of the flour in a bowl. Using your fingers, rub the Butter 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.
FAB FILLING
Place a pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the leeks until soft, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the Beef pieces, the mushrooms, and the NOMU rub. Fry until fragrant, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add 1 [2]|#7DA0D7 tbsp of the remaining flour and the wine. Mix until the flour is incorporated. Add the beef stock and 100ml [200ml]|#7DA0D7 of boiling water. Simmer, uncovered, until the beef is soft and the sauce has reduced, 3-4 minutes. If the meat is not soft, add an extra splash of water and continue simmering until soft. In the final minute, mix through the peas and seasoning.
GOLDEN PASTRY
Sprinkle some of the remaining flour on a flat surface. Remove the pastry from the fridge and place on the sprinkled flour. Dust a rolling pin (or a bottle) and roll out the dough until it's thin. Spoon the pie filling into either individual ramekins or a small, deep oven-proof dish. Carefully lay the rolled out shortcrust pastry on top of the pie filling, trim off any excess, and push down the edges to seal. Lightly brush the top of the pastry with milk or egg wash, and use a knife to pierce a few holes in the pastry. Bake in the hot oven until the pastry is golden and cooked through, 20-25 minutes.
LET’S SALSA
While the pie is cooking, place the Tomato, ½ the Parsley, and the lemon juice (to taste) in a bowl. Toss to combine and season.
