Ingredients

• 500 grams Sausages
• 600 grams Potatoes
• 1 large Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic Cloves
• 50 grams Butter
• 100 milliliters Milk
• 25 grams Plain Flour
• 200 milliliters Chicken or Vegetable Stock
• 100 grams Frozen Peas
• 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
• 10 grams Fresh Parsley
• 375 grams Shortcrust Pastry
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or 400°F.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes, chop them into chunks, and boil in salted water for 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain and mash with 25 grams of butter and the milk. Set aside.

Step 3

While the potatoes cook, slit the skins of the sausages and remove the meat. Heat a pan over medium heat and brown the sausage meat, breaking it up into small pieces. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually add the chicken or vegetable stock, stirring continuously. Simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens.

Step 5

Stir in the peas, dried thyme, and freshly chopped parsley. Season with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and black pepper. Remove the pan from the heat.

Step 6

Roll out the shortcrust pastry on a floured surface to fit your pie dish. Line the bottom of the dish with half of the pastry, trimming any excess.

Step 7

Spread the sausage mixture into the pie dish, then top with the mashed potatoes, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Roll out the remaining pastry and place it over the potatoes. Seal the edges by pressing with a fork and trim any excess pastry. Cut a few small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

Step 9

Beat the egg and brush it over the pastry for a golden finish.

Step 10

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.

Step 11

Let the pie cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables.
