Easy Lamb and Sausage Pie - I have been making this Easy Lamb and Sausage Pie for years. This is a recipe that my friend's aunt used to make and it is delicious. The Pie has 7 ingredients if you don't include the salt, pepper and egg wash. It is fuss free and delicious. In this recipe, melt in the mouth, juicy fall apart lamb and sausages are smothered in a rich gravy with a touch og gravy, and topped with golden flaky crispy puff pastry.
Easy Lamb and Sausage Pie (Meat pie recipe)
I first made this pie 20 years ago and it has stayed with me.
Whenever I want to make easy comfort food that really hits the spot, this is what I make. My kids love it, my family love it..basically everyone loves it.
This is brown food at it's best. The best bit about it is that first bite where you are biting through that golden buttery flaky puff pastry and into the molten rich tender filling..yum.
In this recipe, slow cooked chunky pieces of lamb shoulder or beef and sausages are smothered in a rich onion gravy topped with golden puff pastry. This meat pie is fuss free and so delicious!
What you need to make Lamb and Sausage Pie
Meat Pie Filling - Slow cooked lamb shoulder (on the bone) is cooked in stock or water and combined with cooked sausages and rich onion gravy and double cream (aka heavy cream) and ground black pepper.
Puff pastry pie topping - Flaky golden puff pastry topping which I buy pre rolled is basted with an egg wash. The pie is then cooked for 30 - 40 minutes.
Step by Step Recipe
Cook sausages according to pack instructions, then set aside to cool.
Add the sausages to the pot.
Top Tips to make Lamb and Sausage Pie
Brown the lamb VERY well because that adds flavour.
Use bone on lamb shoulder and remove it from the bone later on. This makes for the most tender succulent meat.
Variations
Shortcrust Pastry - I have tried it with a shortcrust pastry before but it isn't as flavourful. I have also tried to do the bottom of the pie as shortcrust and the top with puff pastry but again it just isn't as delicious.
Mushrooms - This pie works wonderfully well with mushrooms thrown in.
Herbs - Feel free to add herbs such as rosemary or thyme.
