Comfort pie

Times are hard.  Really hard.  I asked - chilli or pie? ... and PPIIEEEE was the only reply.

So, pie, chips and veg it was.

Onions
garlic
olive oil
steak mince
Mushrooms
stock
tomato juice
worcestershire sauce
onion gravy granules
puff pastry


oven chips, carrots and broccoli

1.  Sautee chopped onion and crushed garlic in olive oil.
2.  Add mince and chopped mushrooms and fry for about 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently.
3.  When mince is brown all over add tomato juice, stock and flavourings.  Simmer for 10 mintues.
4.  Stir in a spoonful of gravy granules - call it cheating if you like, but it gives it a nice sauce.  Simmer for 5 minutes.
5.  Allow to cool, transfer to an oven dish and cover with puff pastry.  Brush the top with a little soya (or dairy) milk.
6.  Bake for 40 minutes - chuck the oven chips in as well.
7.  Steam prepped carrots and broccoli.
8.  Serve, scoff ... was well tasty.
