Scrumpy Cheese & Onion Pie
From Mud Foods, Midhurst, West Sussex.
Vegetarian, Gluten free, Frozen
Cheese, onion and scrumpy are the perfect pairing in this gluten-free vegetarian pie. Mature cheddar cheese, red Leicester and small tender pieces of potato nestle within a beautiful sauce of local Hampshire cider, organic milk and vegetable stock with fresh chives; delicious.
One of the most sought-after pies we were requested to make and, being from the West Country, I was very happy to oblige. We gently cook the onions with a hint of garlic until translucent but not coloured. A very generous glug of local 'Heart of Hampshire' cider is then added, the alcohol burnt off and the liquid reduced by half to intensify that delicious scrumpy flavour. Next, we add vegetable stock, organic milk and finely diced waxy potatoes, which hold their shape and bite beautifully. After this, there is nothing left to do other than add lots of delicious mature British cheddar cheese, a good handful of Red Leicester and a smattering of chives.
