Sweet Potato Pork And Sage Pot Pie Recipes

SLOW-COOKED PORK, CIDER & SAGE HOTPOT

Steps:

• Heat half of the oil in a deep ovenproof frying pan, or flameproof casserole dish, and fry the pork pieces over a medium high heat in batches until seared all over, then transfer to a plate. Add another 1 tbsp oil to the pan, if you need to, while you're cooking the batches. Once all the pork is seared, transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Add another 1 tbsp oil to the pan with a little butter and fry half the leeks with a pinch of salt for 10 mins until tender. Add the garlic, fry for a minute, then stir in the flour.
• Pour in the cider, a little at a time, stirring to pick up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan and to combine everything. Add the stock, bay leaves and seared pork, then simmer, half-covered with a lid for 1-1½ hrs until the meat is just tender (it will later cook to the point of falling apart in the oven). Can be prepared a day ahead.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Simmer uncovered for a few minutes to reduce the sauce, if you need to - it shouldn't be too liquid or the potatoes will sink into the sauce. Stir in the parsley, chopped sage, remaining leeks, and the cream, then season well.
• Peel both types of potatoes and cut into slices 2mm thick, by hand or using a mandoline. Alternate layers of potato and sweet potato in circles over the pie, or randomly, if you prefer. Dot the cubed butter over the top and bake for 1-1½ hrs until the potato is tender. Nestle in the whole sage leaves, brushed in a little oil, for the last 10 mins. Leave to rest for 10 mins before serving.

SWEET POTATO POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the oil, onion, garlic, sweet potato and salt.
• Saute, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
• Stir in the adobo sauce and corn.
• In a small bowl, combine the milk and cornstarch, then pour the mixture into the sweet potato pot.
• Leave the heat at medium-high for a few minutes to bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and cook until the filling starts to thicken, about 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat and season with more salt to taste.
• Pour the filling into small ovenproof bowls, each three quarters full.
• Cut a piece of puff pastry dough to fit over each bowl, with some overlap.
• Place the dough on the bowls and fold over the edge of the dish.
• Brush the dough lightly with egg white (this creates a golden crust).
• Using a fork, poke a few holes in the top of each pie to allow steam to escape, and bake until the crusts are tall and deeply golden, about 15 minutes.
• Tip: Bake the potpies on a baking sheet lined with foil in case some of the filling bubbles over.

PORK POT PIE

Steps:

• PIE CRUST: Makes one set top/bottom.
• Mix together white wheat flour, salt, and sugar.
• Cut shortening or butter into flour. I like to leave pretty good size chunks of shortening or butter to make the pie crust more flaky.
• Add ICE COLD water a Tbsp at a time until flour/shortening pieces stick together and are ballable. ** I always add a different amount of water when doing pie crust. At most you may use a 1/4 C of water and at least you may use 1/8°C I think it depends on the moisture in the flour/sugar/salt/air as to how much you would add.**.
• Split ball into half and roll out bottom and top of pie crust to a 1/2 centimeter thickness.
• FILLING: Fills 2 pie crusts
• Flour pork chops and cook in frying pan on med-low heat with butter. Take out, cube, and set aside.
• Cube sweet potatoes, onion, red pepper, Fresno pepper and spices into frying pan with chicken broth. Bring to boil and simmer for 15-20 minute
• Put an equal ratio of flour and butter together in a small cup (usually one tbsp to one tbsp is enough) mix into broth and veggies. This will thicken the broth to make it more like a gravy. You can use several different techniques to thicken broth.
• Add cubed pork and sour cream to frying pan.
• Simmer for a few min, then pour into pie crust. Cover with 2nd layer of crust. Bake for 50 min at 375.
