Raised Game PieRaised Game PieT came home the other weekend with a few pigeon breasts, a couple of hares…so we thought it was the perfect time to make a raised pie.
We had some wild boar and duck breasts in the freezer so added that to the mix….. For the pie I had a look on the net and did a bit of a meld of Delia Smiths (http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/cuis ... e-pie.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ) and from this site ( http://recipewise.co.uk/game-pie" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ) I didn’t have any red wine when I decided to do it…and T was out with the truck so I couldn’t get any (as mine is off the road!!)….so I used some red wine vinegar….and a bit of sugar….and do you know what it was lovely as a marinade ! So hot water crust..which I had never made before but was relatively easy to make…more a challenge to actually get into the tin (I used a springform cake tin)….it was getting it so that you didn’t have a really chunky bit at the bottom of the tin as it comes up the sides….I still think it was a bit thick right in the bottom but hey it was a first attempt. The meat I mixed with a good amount of salt and pepper (think it could have had a bit more to be honest), some herbs, cinnamon and ginger. The cooking time was a bit of a guestimate in fact the whole thing wasn’t an exact science but I got there in the end……. ….and it tasted nice ¸.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨)✰

If you can't be a good example........ you will just have to be a horrible warning
Re: Raised Game PieThat looks good Manda, you amaze me with all the things you cook and make. I`d like to have a go at making a raised pork pie but never got round to it. You do inspire me though
Re: Raised Game PieWell done you! I have never attempted a raised pie. The cake tin seems to have worked well. I think you can get hinged oval tins for them, or I might have just made that up!

Re: Raised Game PieOooh yummy yum yum. Lots of nice pickles and salad would go nicely with that, you clever clogs.
Havnt made a raised pie in ABSOLUTELY ages. Lorna I`m not a teacher for nothing, you know!! If I was clever, I`d be dangerous.
Re: Raised Game PieThank you ....Lorna can I ask you ...is there an easy way to get that bit where the pastry goes round from the side to the bottom a bit thinner or is it just trial and error....it was OK but a bit thick for me.
Thank you Mrs Boodles ....I hadn't made hot water pastry before but it wasn't that hard...I'll give anything a bash once and this was worth the time I think (I'm going to have a go at making pork pies now ) ¸.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨)✰
