Medieval Beef and Bacon Pie
From A Feast of Ice and Fire: The Official Game of Thrones Companion Cookbook [1]
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup thick cut bacon, diced or cut small
1 1/2 pounds stew beef, cut into small pieces
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1⁄3 cup prunes, sliced
1⁄3 cup raisins
1⁄3 cup dates, chopped
1 cup beef broth
2 to 3 tablespoons flour
Dough for a double crust 9- inch pie, unbaked, rolled into 2 rounds
1 egg, beaten
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Cook the diced bacon in a saucepan over medium heat until the fat runs from it, then drain off the fat.
- To the same pan, add the beef, spices, vinegar, and fruits. Add enough broth to thoroughly wet the mixture; the final consistency should be runny. Mix in the flour and cook on low heat until the juices form a gravy. Let the meat mixture cool.
- Line a 9-inch pie pan with a round of pastry dough and fill it with the meat mixture. Add a pastry lid, turn the edges under, pinch them closed, and brush with beaten egg.
- Bake until the filling is bubbling and the pastry is cooked, about 40 minutes.
