Mutton Pie

Ingredients

• 3 lbs. breast mutton
• 2 onions
• Pepper and salt
• Puff paste

Method

1. 1

   Chop up the mutton in small pieces, trim away as much of the fat as you can; put a layer of mutton in a pie-dish, a layer of onions thinly sliced, pepper and salt; repeat until the pie-dish is full, about half-fill with water, cover and put in a quick oven, let it remain there for an hour; by that time the meat will be nearly cooked; take out, put on a nice thick puff paste, put back in the oven; when the paste is cooked it is ready for use.

2. 2

   This can be made with cold mutton; it answers nearly as well.
