What's better than a saucy pork pie to warm up the winter nights? This one is just that much better with its hidden veggies and crumbly filo pastry topping and tastes even better when it's devoured in pj's on the couch!

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts and wheat.

Cooking Steps

1

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Grate carrot. • Finely chop celery and onion.

Little cooks: Under adult supervision, older kids can help grate the carrot.

2

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook pork mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes.

3

• Add carrot, celery and onion to the pan, stirring, until softened, 4-6 minutes. • Add Aussie spice blend, tomato paste, the butter(for the sauce) and plain flour and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, then add garlic & herb seasoning, the milk and water and cook, stirring, until reduced, 2-3 minutes.

4

• Remove pan from heat, add baby spinach leaves and stir to combine. • Transfer pork filling to a baking dish.

5

• In a small heatproof bowl, add the butter (for the pastry). Microwave in 10 second bursts until melted. • Lightly scrunch each sheet of filo pastry (see ingredients) and place on top of the pork filling to completely cover. Gently brush melted butter over to coat. • Bake pie until pastry is golden, 20-25 minutes.

Little cooks: Kids can take the lead by scrunching the filo pastry!
