Made some pirogues last week.
Used the smoked pork I'd done earlier in the week.
For the rest of the filling I cooked up some pasty veg: turnip, carrot & oinion cooked in butter with a little cbp.
I also had some leftover sauce from the turkey leg and thigh I roasted the day before. basically the turkey was cooked in apple juice with garlic and pepper, added some blackcurrant jelly to that for the sauce.
Mixed the pork, sauce and veggies up.
Man was that tasty, if I hadn't already got the dough on the go I'd have just chowed down on the bowl of filling :-)
For the dough I went for a mostly white flour with a little granary. olive oil, herbs and some cbp. Gunny LOOK AWAY NOW - this might prove traumatic otherwise ;-)
Made some great dough (about a pound and a half). I split it into 8 parts.
rolled out an eighth dolloped a lot of filling in the middle brushed the edge with beaten egg. and crimped.
Ran mostly out of filling after 6. So the remainder of dough I rolled out and spread the little bit of filling (mostly veggies) over and rolled into a loaf.
Turned out rather good. I tried the first slice with some garlic cream cheese on - not bad. second slice with ketchup - also not bad. Made the mistake of trying one with both cheese and ketchup - now that was a mistake. I'd eaten the whole thing 10 minutes later !
The pirogues turned out pretty good.
But if I'm honest I definitely prefer my pasties made with a shortcrust pastry and not a bread wrapping.
These were good, but I can't help feeling they'd have been better with pastry lol

I should give you points just for having vegetables included
anyway, for the whole dish. I can forgive the bread thing. We know limey's can't make bread anyway.
