Egg Custard Pie

This week I thought I'd go with a sweet pie. I've always enjoyed a good custard pie, so I figured that would be a good first sweet pie for the blog.

Chipotle Chicken

This is the second Mexican inspired pie in a couple of weeks, and I guess it's because Mexican food often is made to be placed inside some sort of wrapper - a tortilla, taco, tamales etc. Mexican food is also delicious, so should be available in a pie.

This is a spicy chipotle chicken pie, with a few veges thrown in. It was pretty amazing, and tasted even better than I'd hoped.

Lamb Tagine Pie

A tagine is a Moroccan stew, usually a mixture of chicken or lamb (or goat if it's authentic Moroccan), root vegetables, fruit and spices like cumin and cinnamon.  It's a delicious dish, and one that lends itself well to a pie form.

Breakfast Pie, take one (Huevos Rancheros Pie)

This week involves a real bit of ex"pie"rimentation. Huevos Rancheros is one of my favourite breakfast meals. It usually involves spreading a fried tortilla with a ranch style chilli sauce, topped with refried beans and an egg. It's an awesome start to the day, but I thought it might be even more awesome in pie form. So this is my first attempt at a breakfast pie - and it was delicious.

The Pulled Pork Pie

Pulled Pork (or Carolina Barbecued Pork, or whatever you want to call it) is a tasty dish on its own. But when you make it, you tend to end up with way too much smoky pork meat to deal with. So I thought I'd try putting the leftovers into pies. And you know what? It's awesome. Here's the recipe.

Mushroom, potato and red wine (a vege special)

This week I thought I'd give a little treat to my vegetarian friends out there. This actually started out as part of a twice-cooked duck recipe, but with the mushrooms cooked separately, then I forgot to reintegrate the 'shrooms with the duck, and decided to pie them up (as we say in the biz). Here's the result.

Chicken, Baby Leek and Kumara (Sweet Potato)

Chicken pies are pretty cool, right? And baby leek? That's a bit different. Throw in a kumara for some bonus sweetness? Why not. Well, that's this week's pie, so I hope you enjoy it my friends.
