Pork, Cheddar & Leek Pie with Honey Mustard Gravy

This is a proper weeknight-friendly pie. You still get all the comfort and depth you want from a pub pie, but without a long, slow braise. The pork stays juicy, the leeks bring sweetness, the sage gives warmth, and the whole thing is held together with a rich cheddar sauce that coats everything rather than drowning it. Big flavour, far less waiting around.

Method

Turn cooking mode on

Step 1

Start with the pastry. Roll it out and line a deep pie tin, pressing it well into the corners. Use a small sharp knife to trim the pastry against the side of the tin rather than flush at the top, leaving a slight lip to help hold the filling. Chill for 20 minutes, then line with greaseproof and baking beans and blind bake at 180°C for 20 minutes. Remove the paper and beans and return to the oven for another 5–10 minutes until the base is dry and lightly golden. Set aside.

Notes

I use a springform cake tin for this pie as it makes removing it once cooked much easier. A tin around 24cm wide and 8cm deep works perfectly.

I have never made a shortcrust pie before but this was fun to cook. Using a spring form helped a lot. My kids loved both the pie and the gravy.

Temperature and duration cooked for crust alone, and then entire pie? Short crust recipe?
