Recipe available perchance? Pretty please.
No specific recipe followed but roughly -
Season flour with S&P, lightly dust 1kg of wild boar and brown them in oil.
Remove from the pan and add 2 diced onion, 2 chopped carrots and 2 sticks of diced celery. Sweat down. Add minced smoked garlic for a couple of mins.
Then add a couple of tablespoons of tomato puree and cook for a couple of minutes to remove the bitterness.
Add in the meat, a pint of Guinness and enough beef stock to cover, along with lots of rosemary, chopped mushrooms and a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce. Season as needed.
Put a cartouche on top, stick on the oven at 150, and cook for 3 hours until tender. Add some more stock during the cooking process if it dries too much.
Allow to cool completely.
Cut out short crust pastry and line a muffin tray. I used a muffin tray to make several small pies. Fill with the mixture, add a good size chunk of blue cheese on top, then add a pastry lid.
Brush with egg wash and stick in the oven at 180 until pastry is golden brown.
