gala pie recipe?

Question

Need a recipe as to make a gala pie

Answer 1

i found this, not sure how authentique it is
Pork Pies
Hot Water Pastry

450 gram Plain flour
½ tsp salt
175 gram lard
150 ml water

Sift flour into a bowl with the salt
Put the lard & water into a pan and bring to the boil
Add the hot water & lard to the flour & mix with a knife to a soft dough
Leave to cool slightly & then mould ¾ of the past around a floured jam jar or pie mould, making sure there are no cracks in the paste
Wrap the paste with brown paper & tie with string.
Leave to set
Once set remove the jar carefully & fill with the pork mixture
Roll the remaining past to for a lid

Melton Mowbray Pie Meat

1 Kg pork shoulder
1 tsp fresh sage
1 tsp Anchovy essence
½ tsp ground allspice
Salt & Black pepper to taste

Mince meat to 5mm
Mix all ingredients together
Place ½ the mixture into the pie mould & then place the boiled shelled eggs in the centre.
Add the remaining pork pie meat
Lid off, brush with beaten egg or milk & make a hole in the top
Pre-heat oven to 200c
Place pie in the centre of the oven & bake for 30 minutes
Reduce the heat to 160 & continue baking for a further 60 minutes or until the meat is cooked
If it is getting too brown, then cover with a sheet of baking parchment.
Allow the pie to cool slightly & then make up some jellied stock & pour through the hole in the top of the pie
Leave in a cool place to set.

N.B. the anchovy essence makes the pork turn pink; if you want to use a cure you may do so instead of the anchovy, however this was the traditional way I am led to believe.


other than that, if you have a good local butcher beg him/her for the recipe, good luck

it's not gala season...you are going to have an impossible time finding fresh gala.

go with a pumpkin pie instead.
