Notes

COOK'S TIP: Serve with a leafy green salad on the side. TO REFRIGERATE: Store unbaked pies, covered, in ovenproof dishes, for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, uncover and bake pies, adding an extra 5–10 minutes cooking time to ensure filling is thoroughly heated through. TO FREEZE: Store unbaked pies as above for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and bake as above.
