    excellent, I made this with left over roast pork and used a savory short pastry, it was delicious. I didn't dare tell my dinner party how easy it was!

    My very first attempt at a pie - was hard work but very tasty. I'd brush the pastry top with milk or something to make it bake better (mine was quite dry) but I'd definitely try this again. A good way to use sausages!

    I used /trex in the pastry rather than butter, just because I had some in the fridge - not sure which is best. The pie was a big hit with my hubby - a yummy winter warmer.
