the trout whisperer
"Wrong, Do it again!"
"If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding.
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?"
"You! Yes, you behind the bikesheds, stand still laddy!" (roger waters)
recipe:
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 lb. well seasoned ground pork (try jimmy deans breakfast blend) something with some zip
2 strips bacon, cooked –cooled and diced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 med. Onions diced
3/4 c. water -you might need less…don’t get it to soupy
1 tsp. Lawry’s seasoned salt
1/4 tsp. pepper or busted black pepper corns
3/4 tsp. sage
3 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley, chives or any nice greens -grn pepper will work if you don’t have anything else
1 big large boiled potato, mashed minus the skin
CRUST: nothing special just a crust
2 c. flour
1 1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. butter
1 egg, beaten
1/4 c. milk
Place first 4 ingredients in skillet and cook until you brown the meat then Add next 5 ingredients, cover and cook 20 minutes.if its to wet cook abit longer uncovered- Remove from heat and stir in the last 2 ingredients. Let cool. A personal touch of mine is to Mix in two ounces of good whiskey and let this mixture rest while you make crust- so Mix flour and salt in bowl. Add butter -Mix egg and milk together and add to flour mixture; roll it into 2 balls, wrap in wax paper and refrigerate for 1 hour. You can season these balls with parsley flakes if you like..
Then press out dough- lay in pc of dough and fill 9 inch pie dish ,heap the filling up--cover with remaining dough- seal it good around the edge-try about 4 slits.. Bake at 400 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes-should look browned and the aroma is thick enough to take a bite out of. Let the pie sit to firm up before you hack into to it…but serve it hot..
