Step 1
Before you begin… this recipe takes around 5 min [10 min] to prep, so get your oven-proof dish and all your ingredients ready, then wash your fruit and veg.
Step 2
Step 3
Dust your work surface with a generous sprinkling of flour. Unwrap the puff pastry and roll it out with a rolling pin until it is large enough to cover the oven proof dish[es].
Step 4
Peel and chop the brown onion[s] into wedges. Add the chopped onion to the pan with 1 tsp [2 tsp] flour and the dried thyme. Give everything a good mix up and add 200ml [375ml] boiled water with the tomato paste, beef stock mix, soy sauce, bay leaf[ves] and red wine paste. Bring to the boil over a high heat – this is your pie mix.
Step 5
Transfer the pie mix to an oven-proof dish (or 2!) Top the pie mix with the rolled pastry and crimp round the edge with a fork. Score a cross in the middle of the pastry and put it in the oven for 20-22 min or until puffed up and golden and the meat is cooked through (no pink meat!) – this is your venison, pork and red wine pie.
Step 6
Top, tail and chop the parsnips into quarters lengthways, then into batons. Add the parsnip batons to a baking tray with a pinch of sugar, a knob of butter and a grind of pepper. Put the tray in the oven for 20-22 min or until tender – these are your caramelised parsnips.
Step 7
Serve the venison, pork & red wine pie with the caramelised parsnips to the side. Let everyone dig in!
