We all love a mince and cheese pie, well, a proper kiwi does anyway :o)
I was thinking at lunch, what would be the perfect beer to accompany a good ol mince and cheese pie with tomato sauce?? What do you drink with your pie?
And please dont tell me Tui to go with a Tui pie and some Tuimato sauce on it... Even tho Tuimato sauce is pretty tasty...
kind of went like this
Gravy Beef
onion
tomato paste
bayleaf
pint of bitter
Brown onion, and steak add flour and brown, add tomato paste stir for couple of sec's then add beer and bayleaf, simmer for 3hrs till it forms a gravy like consitancy. Put hot mixture in a pie dish and place a suet pastry top on it then bake till pastry is cooked. Pretty basic but essentialy it is the same missing a few extra bits as I aint got the recipe on me. Suet pastry top is the key bit in it!!
