Mini Ham & Duck Pies

  • Time preparation 20
  • cook time 25min
  • Serve Serves 0

  • 1 tub of Castle MacLellan Duck Pâté
  • 500g packet of shortcrust pastry
  • 200g ham hock
  • Apple and cider chutney, or similar
  • One free-range egg, beaten

Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF/Gas Mark 6. Roll out your short crust pastry so it is thinner than a pound coin. Cut out 8x9cm circles of pastry for the base of your pies, then cut out 8x7cm discs for the tops. You may need to re-roll the pastry to do this.

Take a mini pie tin or muffin tray with enough moulds to hold 8 pies. Brush the moulds with a little oil before pushing the pastry base circle into the muffin tray. Put a tablespoon of the ham hock into the base of each pie – you want it to be about full.

On top of the ham hock add a layer of Castle MacLellan Duck Pâté (about 1 tablespoon on each pie) then spoon the same amount of chutney on top. Brush the outer edge with the egg wash and add a pastry lid. Pinch the sides to seal and make a small hole in the top. Cook for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
