Leftover lamb pie with chickpeas
Background
A big joint of lamb ( leg or shoulder) is always enough for several meals in my household, particularly at Easter. First I make roast dinner or Sunday lunch, then the leftover is perfect for stews and pies, mixed with lots of veggies. You can make this leftover lamb pie with chickpeas in two sessions - the stew filling first then the pie itself. The stew can be chilled or frozen if you want to make the pie later. Serve it with a crispy salad!
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 2 carrots
- 1 sprig of rosemary, leaves only
- 1 tin chopped tomatoes
- Leftover gravy or
- 350 ml lamb stock
- 1 tin chickpeas, drained
- 100mg green vegies of your choice ( green beans, peas, spinach, kale, etc)
- 1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry
- 1.5 cup leftover roasted lamb pieces
- 1 egg, beaten (optional)
Instructions
- Finely chop the onion, garlic, carrot and rosemary leaves.
- Heat the oil in pan and gently fry the onion until softened, then add the garlic, carrot and rosemary. Put a lid on and sauté for 8 minutes over low heat.
- Add the tomatoes, gravy and/or stock. Bring to the boil and cook over low heat for 10 minutes, then add the chickpeas and your chosen greens. Cook for another 5 minutes.
- Add more stock if the stew is too thick.
- Cut the lamb pieces into smaller pieces, if needed and stir into the stew.
- Transfer the stew into a deep baking dish and rest until you’re ready to make the pie.
- Heat the oven to 200°C.
- Unroll the pastry, then cut it about 2 cm bigger than the dish. Put this cut-out piece on top of the dish, pressing the pastry around the edges to seal.
- Use any remaining pastry to create decorations - flowers, eggs, bunnies or other motives. Press these onto to pastry with the beaten egg, if used.
- Make a couple of incisions in the pastry to allow the steam to escape, then brush the pastry with the egg for a golden, crispy finish.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden and it has risen nicely.
- Serve warm.
