how to cook

Fry your mix in oil to brown, lightly dusted in flour then slow cook with onions, wine or stock and herbs before adding the pastry pie top of your choice – suet, puff or shortcrust. Or try making a traditional streamed pudding or use in a casserole (don’t forget the dumplings!) Try slow cooking the mixture at the weekend; freeze it then defrost to finish the pie or casserole at a later date.
