Meat pie
A meat pie is a pie in which the principal filling ingredient is meat. They are made from a variety of meats, including beef, pork, lamb, venison, game, chicken, turkey, and fish. They may also contain vegetables, either as filling or as a topping.
The first recorded pies were in the 9th century by the Persian geographer Ibn Rustah, who described a pie filled with meat, cheese, and an egg that was cooked and then eaten with the hands.
The first pies in England were known as "coffins" or "coffyns". These were basically meat-filled pastry shells that were often used to transport food on long journeys.
Advice
Making a meat pie is a great way to create a hearty and filling meal. Start by preheating your oven and preparing your ingredients, including a mix of your favorite ground meats, vegetables, and seasonings. For the pastry, you can either make your own or use store-bought pastry dough. Roll out the pastry dough and place it in a pie dish. Next, prepare the filling by combining all of your ingredients in a large bowl. Place the filling in the pastry dish and cover with another layer of pastry. Use a fork to crimp the edges of the pastry together and then cut a few small vents in the top to allow steam to escape. Bake the pie in the preheated oven according to the recipe instructions. Finally, when your pie is finished baking, let it cool before serving. Enjoy!
