beef
serves 4
1 cowheel
1 large onion, chopped
veal or chicken stock
250g / 8oz cooked butter beans
salt & pepper
60g / 2oz butter
125g / 4oz flour
milk or beaten egg to glaze
Cut up the cowheel and put in the pot, add the onion and cover
with water or stock and simmer for about 2 hours until tender.
Strain the cowheel, reserving the stock.
Arrange the meat in alternate layers with the beans in a greased pie dish,
seasoning each layer with salt and pepper, and moistening with
stock.
Rub the flour into the butter with a pinch of salt, and mix into a soft dough with cold water. Roll out rather larger than the dish, damp the edges of the dish, and cover with the pastry. Make a hole in the centre of the pastry, and trim the edges and brush with milk or beaten egg.
Bake in the oven at 2000C / 4000F / Gas mark 6 for 30 minutes
