Feijoada Pie

I havent tried this recipe, so I dont know what its like, but i like the sound of it, so when I have ill let you know.

(Feijoada is a portuguese/ brazilian stew made with pork or beef, ive adapted it by simplyfying it and shoving it in a pie!)

Makes one big pie for four people

Ham Hock or Pork Rind
4 sausages
Chorizo sausage
400ml portuguese red wine
400 ml pork/chicken/beef stock
400g Black beans
Carrots
1 large onion
2 garlic cloves
Sprig of Thyme
Bay leaf
Handful coriander (optional)
Puff pastry

Take a big pan. Heat the butter and brown off the meat including the sausage. (Either cut the sausage into chunks or remove the casing and use the meat). Remove from pan.
Heat a little more butter then fry the onion, and carrot for five minutes. Then chuck in the thyme, bay leaf, beans and garlic, cook for one minute then chuck in the wine and stock. Return the meat to the pan then simmer for 1 1/2 hours stirring so nothing sticks. Stir in some corianer leaves.

Brush a greaseproof pan with egg. Then line with puff pastry. Put the feijoada stew into the pan then cover with pastry and pinch the edges over the pan. Bake in the oven for 20-30 mins until the pastry is golden.

Voila. Cut into the pie and eat with a portuguese red wine or brazilian beer.
