Lamb Pie Recipe Directions:
- Heat oil in large skillet, sauté onion until softened.
- Add the lamb and cook until brown.
- Add stock, rice, herbs and spices. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and blend in egg, currants and pine nuts. Allow the filling to cool.
- Spoon filling into pan. Top with pie crust or puffed pastry, crimping the edges to fit the pan.
- Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes until pastry puffs and is golden.
If the puff pastry looks like too much work, use a pie crust on top only.
