Let me start with the elephant in the room, and that’s how do you go about making the shape for a hand-raised pie properly? You have two choices: Use a mold or dolly, or McGyver it. I use a mold for my game pie. Using a pork pie tin or mold makes the process so much easier, to the point where I rarely made them before I bit the bullet and bought fo...
A traditional game pie uses a hot water dough. This is a very sturdy dough that, while not wondrous to eat like, say, empanada dough, is fine to eat. More importantly, it makes a dough that you can tote around for a day or so at room temperature, or at least at English room temperature. It’s very fatty, and that fat is usually lard.

Obviously game will be in a game pie. Duh. But beyond that one rule, it’s kind of anything goes.

A bitter greens salad is a very good side dish, if you are not out and about when you are eating your pie. Once made, a game pie will keep two weeks in the fridge. I reckon they can be frozen, but I’ve not tried it.
I have a wide selection of other fantastic meat pies you might want to try. Some are bready, others use pie crust, some use other doughs. Keep in mind the filling meat can really be whatever you have lying around. 1. Venison pasties. Cornish meat pies filled with ground or diced beef or venison, carrots and rutabagas in a bready crust. 2. Venison m...

A proper game pie is the perfect way to celebrate in season British meats such as venison, pheasant, partridge and rabbit. Game is naturally very lean, so Helen adds some streaky bacon for a little richness. A fresh orange and parsely gremolata is the perfect topping for the crumbly pastry case.

Nov 4, 2015 · A dish steeped and entwined in British history, the culinary journey of the humble game pie sees it transverse social classes, survive Napoleon, grace royal tables, and appear both with and without pastry.
Game pie is a form of meat pie featuring game. The dish dates from Roman times when the main ingredients were wild birds and animals such as partridge, pheasant, deer, and hare. The pies reached their most elaborate form in Victorian England, with complex recipes and specialized moulds and serving dishes.
Game pie is a traditional English dish consisting of a pastry shell filled with rich gravy and slowly cooked game meat such as venison, rabbit, and pheasant. The dish is typically prepared during the colder months, since the British game season usually runs through autumn and winter.
These burnished gold beauties contain a cornucopia of game, marinated in herbs, mustard and Armagnac. They're relatively easy to recreate at home, provided you have a good butcher who can supply you with the filling, and their flavour is unmatched. First published in 2021.
