Ingredients

Flat crust for 9" pie
1 lb Pork (ground)
1 tsp Salt (sea salt)
3 Egg Yolks
1/4 cup Honey
1 tsp Ground Pepper
1 tsp Ground Ginger

Steps

  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • Beat eggs. Combine all ingredients except pie crust in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly.
  • Line a square baking dish with the round pie crust. Some of the pie crust will extend beyond the top of the dish, that's fine. Fill the crust with the meat mixture, than fold over the flaps of pie crust. This will leave a central gap through which steam can escape.
  • Bake for 45 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°.

Notes

Inspired by the recent Canterbury event, I wanted to cook something Geoffrey Chaucer would have eaten.
I found this recipe on the Goode Cookery site.
