OMG, that looks wonderful. I have got to try this this weekend. Share a pic, if you can.

 

these are awesome

 

That looks excellent. Rustic looking. I bet a venison meat pie made with the seasonings of a French Tourtiere pie would be very good too.

 

I gasped. Seriously, I did.

 

Oh yeah brother! That's the way I like it, uh huh, uh huh. I made some venison pasties last year and they were great, but I like that your ratio of meat vs. everything else is very high! As it should be.

 

I think BCB's pie looks better than the one in the recipe.

 

thanks! I used 1/4c of buckwheat flour instead of the spelt or acorn flour he used. I had buckwheat on hand already and figured I'd try it out. the rest of the recipe was followed as written.

 

Looks like a pastie, only better!!
You bet this is on tomorrow's menu.

 

I also like the fact that the crust is bread-based, rather than pastry. A bit more substantial; how did it taste?

 

Theyre very good. I ate 2 for dinner. Adding cheese to it would be a good idea. Its like a burger patty inside. With all the seasonings I think dipping it in some marinara sauce would be good too. I'm gonna try the sauce out at lunch.

 

I'd highly recommend the marinara to dip. I couldnt wait till lunch and just finished one. yum

 

Here is mine! It's going to be an effort to wait til dinner time. Having one with kale and carrots.
I used bacon fat instead of lard, added rosemary. Had to lay a sheet of foil on top after about ten minutes, it was browning really fast. They smell wonderful!

 

That looks amazing.

 

awesome job!

I see you canned your own carrots and kale!

 

Thanks! Had a bumper crop of green beans and butternut squash too. Good thing I don't have to can the squash, I used every jar in the basement, and had to buy another two boxes!
I am SO tempted to cut into one, "just to check..."
