Ingredients

Servings

• 500 gram Pork shoulder
• 500 gram Pork belly
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 clove Garlic cloves
• 2 sprig Fresh thyme
• 2 leaf Bay leaves
• 500 gram Plain flour
• 200 gram Butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions

1. In a large saucepan, combine the pork shoulder, pork belly, onion, garlic cloves, thyme, bay leaves, salt, black pepper, and water. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 2 hours or until the pork is tender.

5. Fill the pie dish with the shredded pork and cover with the rolled-out pastry lid.
6. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 45-60 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
7. Allow the pie to rest for 1 hour before serving.
8. Serve the pork pie warm or cold.
