Cheshire Pork Pie filling.
This filling is pretty much a classic Sausage roll, but with warmer spices and apples added to cheshire it up. A real bastard.
- 3 lbs Ground Pork
- 1 Box Seasoned Stuffing Mix
- 1 Yellow Onion
- 1-2 Apple(s)
- 1 Egg
- 1/4 Cup Apricot Spread
- Chinese 5 Spice
- Thyme
- Nutmeg
- Garlic Powder
- Salt & Pepper
- Dice up the onion and apples and sauté in butter or lard. Just to lose some moisture and get some color on them.
- Mix up everything else! Wait and add the fruit and veg once it’s cooled some. Crush up the stuffing mix a bit, but don't grind to crumbs. Salt well, pork likes salt, and season based on your taste preference (I like heavy on the pepper, 5 spice, and nutmeg, light on thyme and garlic) and let the filling rest awhile before pieing up.
- Pie up! Try rough puff pastry dough, maybe a Hot water Crust. Dont forget a vent and bake it as your scale and crust demand.
