What makes this dish different

How to cook

This recipe is made with some raw ingredients and isn’t suitable for microwaving, so please follow these cooking instructions carefully.

Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 7.
Remove pie from the box. For best results, brush the pastry with milk or whisked egg*.
Place the pie on a tray in the centre of the oven and bake for 30 minutes until the pastry turns golden brown.
Leave to stand for 4 minutes, before gently removing from the case. Be careful, it will be hot. Make sure it’s piping hot throughout.

*Don’t worry, they taste just as good without doing this. It just makes them look even better if you want to impress.
