Pork Potpie Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour until smooth; gradually add broth and milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add the pork, vegetables, cheese, seasoned salt and pepper; heat through., Transfer to a greased 11x7-in. baking dish. On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry into an 11x7-in. rectangle. Place over pork mixture. Brush with egg. , Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.

Steps:

• Make the stew: Season pork with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Heat a large, heavy pot over high heat for 1 minute. Add 2 tablespoons oil. Working in batches, brown pork on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes total per batch. Using a slotted spoon, transfer pork to a large bowl. (Reduce heat slightly if bottom of pot is getting too dark; you want browned, not burned, bits for flavoring the stew. Either wipe out pot or deglaze with water, bringing it to a boil and scraping up burned bits. Pour off liquid, add more oil, and proceed.)
• Add carrot, celery, and onion to drippings in pot. Add 1/4 cup wine, and stir, scraping up any browned bits from bottom, until wine is evaporated. Cook for 3 minutes more, then add remaining 2 1/4 cups wine. Cook, stirring often, until reduced by half, 6 to 8 minutes. Whisk caraway seeds, mustard, flour, and 1/2 cup stock in a small bowl, then whisk into pot. Bring to a boil, and cook, stirring often, for 30 seconds.
• Stir in remaining 3 1/2 cups stock. Add pork, thyme sprigs, bay leaf, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook, partially covered, until pork is fork-tender, about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
• Finish the pies: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, working with 1 sheet of puff pastry at a time, roll out each to 1/8 inch thickness. Using a 3 1/2-inch fluted round cutter, cut out 12 circles, and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cut out shapes from center of each round using a 1-inch snowflake cutter if desired. (Alternatively, make a wreath: Using a 1 1/2-inch leaf cutter, cut leaves from dough. Brush with egg, and form into wreath shapes about 3 1/2 inches in diameter, using 10 leaves per wreath. Save 1 leaf to place in center.) Brush with egg, then freeze until firm, about 15 minutes. Bake puff pastry rounds until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add remaining vegetables to pork mixture, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until vegetables are just tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and stir in parsley and thyme. Divide among twelve 7-ounce ramekins. Place on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Place 1 puff pastry round on each ramekin. Bake, rotating sheet halfway through, until pastry is golden brown and juices are bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes more. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 11x7-inch (2-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
• In 12-inch skillet, cook bacon until crisp; drain on paper towels. Crumble bacon; set aside. Cook red onion in bacon drippings over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until tender. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds. Stir in pork, beans, barbecue sauce and crumbled bacon. Spoon mixture into baking dish.
• In medium bowl, stir together Bisquick mix, egg and milk until smooth. Fold in 1/2 cup of the cheese and the green onions. Pour over pork mixture.
• Bake uncovered 15 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese; bake 5 minutes longer or until toothpick inserted in topping comes out clean and cheese is melted. Sprinkle with additional chopped green onions, if desired.

Steps:

• For the double crust leaf lard pastry: In a bowl, mix the flour and salt together with 2 knives. Cut in the lard until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the ice water over the mixture, a spoonful at a time, stirring with a fork and adding just enough water so it holds together. Shape into a ball, press into a flat disc, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
• For the pork filling: Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp; remove to a plate. Add the pork and a pinch of salt and brown for 2 minutes; remove to a plate. Add the potatoes, celery, celery leaves, parsley, savory, garlic and onions and sweat for 3 to 5 minutes. Deglaze the skillet with 1 cup of water, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Add the pork and bacon back to the skillet with the cinnamon, cloves and a large pinch of salt, and simmer until the liquid has evaporated, 20 minutes.
• While the mixture is simmering, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly flour a work surface. Roll out the chilled pastry into two 13-inch rounds for a 10-inch double-crust pie, or into one 14-inch round for a single-crust pie. If using the double-crust method, line a 10-inch pie plate with one of the pastry rounds and fill with the meat mixture; cover with the remaining pastry. Trim and crimp the edges to seal, and cut small steam vents. Brush the top of the pastry with the egg yolk and milk mixture. If using the single-crust method, place the meat mixture in a 10-inch pie plate and cover with the single pastry round. Trim, press the edges into the sides of the pan and cut small steam vents in the center. Brush the top of the pastry with the egg yolk and milk mixture. Bake until the crust is golden, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool for 30 minutes and serve warm.

Steps:

• For the pot pie: Sprinkle the pork with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown the pork on all sides. Remove to a plate and set aside.
• To the Dutch oven--with the brown bits still in the pot--add the onions, garlic and oregano; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the flour until completely combined into a roux. Pour in the cognac and simmer until reduced by half. Add the chicken broth and cream, and stir to combine. Add the browned pork. Bring to a simmer, partially cover the pot, and braise over medium heat until the pork is just fork tender, 1 1/2 hours. Stir in the kale, carrots and potatoes, cover, and cook over medium-low heat for another 15 minutes.
• For the biscuit topping: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, whisk to combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and sugar. Add the milk and the egg, stirring until just combined. Stir in the Monterey Jack and the melted butter; stir until a batter consistency is reached.
• Spoon tablespoon-size balls of the batter over the pot pie until the top is fully covered with biscuit balls. Brush the tops of the biscuits with milk.
• Bake until the biscuit topping is golden and cooked through, 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Brown ground beef and ground pork over medium heat until thoroughly cooked. Drain off grease.
• Mix together cooked meat, potatoes, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
• Line a 9 inch pie dish with pastry. Spoon pork mixture into pie crust, and top with second pie crust. Brush top crust with egg white. Shield crust edges with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 45 minutes. Remove foil for final 15 minutes of baking to brown edges.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 370°F.
• Cook bite size potato pieces in a small amount of water until almost tender.
• Add vegetables and chunks of pork and heat through.
• Drain most of the water.
• Add onion, Ramen noodle seasoning packet, salt, pepper, garlic to taste.
• Pour mixture into crust and top with crust.
• Cut 3-4 slits in top crust.
• Bake for 1 hour or until crust is well browned.

Steps:

• PIE CRUST: Makes one set top/bottom.
• Mix together white wheat flour, salt, and sugar.
• Cut shortening or butter into flour. I like to leave pretty good size chunks of shortening or butter to make the pie crust more flaky.
• Add ICE COLD water a Tbsp at a time until flour/shortening pieces stick together and are ballable. ** I always add a different amount of water when doing pie crust. At most you may use a 1/4 C of water and at least you may use 1/8°C I think it depends on the moisture in the flour/sugar/salt/air as to how much you would add.**.
• Split ball into half and roll out bottom and top of pie crust to a 1/2 centimeter thickness.
• FILLING: Fills 2 pie crusts
• Flour pork chops and cook in frying pan on med-low heat with butter. Take out, cube, and set aside.
• Cube sweet potatoes, onion, red pepper, Fresno pepper and spices into frying pan with chicken broth. Bring to boil and simmer for 15-20 minute
• Put an equal ratio of flour and butter together in a small cup (usually one tbsp to one tbsp is enough) mix into broth and veggies. This will thicken the broth to make it more like a gravy. You can use several different techniques to thicken broth.
• Add cubed pork and sour cream to frying pan.
• Simmer for a few min, then pour into pie crust. Cover with 2nd layer of crust. Bake for 50 min at 375.

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon until fat begins to render, about 2 minutes. Add ground pork and cook, breaking it up into bite-size pieces, until no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Return skillet to medium-high; swirl in oil. Add onion, garlic, and celery; season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and brown in spots, 7 to 9 minutes. Return pork mixture and any accumulated juices to skillet. Stir in potato, broth, cinnamon, and clove; season with pepper. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until broth is mostly evaporated, 25 to 28 minutes.
• Transfer pork mixture to a bowl and let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Lightly beat 1 egg; stir into pork mixture with parsley.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees with racks in center and lowest positions. Roll out one disk of dough to an 11-inch round on a work surface dusted with flour. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate; trim edges to a 1/2-inch overhang. Transfer pork mixture to pie shell. Roll remaining dough to an 11-inch round and center over filling. Trim edges to a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold edges of top crust under edges of bottom crust, tucking dough until flush with edge of pie plate. Crimp edges with the tines of a fork. Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes. Beat remaining egg with 1 teaspoon water. Brush crust with egg wash, then cut a few vents in top of crust.
• Bake the chilled pie on the center rack with a rimmed baking sheet on the lowest rack (to catch any drips) until crust is golden brown and filling bubbles slightly through vents, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool on a wire rack 30 minutes before slicing. Serve with mustard and cornichons.
