METHOD
Heat the oil in a large frying pan, then add the
onions and fry on medium heat for a couple of
minutes, until softened.
Increase the heat, then add the minced pork
and the garlic and mix well.
Add the broccoli and simmer until most of the
juices have evaporated.
In a separate bowl, combine the egg, oregano,
chilli and grated cheese and season with salt
and pepper to taste.
Add the mixture to the frying pan with the
other ingredients and cook for approximately 1
minute, stirring regularly until the egg mixture
has set.
Switch on your Pie Maker and allow it to
preheat. Meanwhile, roll out the shortcrust
pastry and using the pastry cutter, cut the pie
top and base.
Line the base plate with a pastry base, then fill
with the filling, placing a greater amount in the
centre to give your pie a good shape.
Cover the pastry base with a pastry top and
then close your Pie Maker lid.
Cook for approximately 10 minutes or until
well browned.
Switch off your Pie Maker and unplug it from
the mains power supply. Remove the pies using
a plastic or wooden spatula.
Note: Excess, unused pastry can be stored in
the freezer for future use.
Note: Pies can be cooked directly in your
Pie Maker from cold. This will require
approximately 7–8 minutes extra cooking time.
Caution: The cooking plates get very hot;
never touch them directly, always use heat-
resistant oven gloves.
