  • Rub the lard, butter, and salt into the flour until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.
  • Add water and beat in a mixer until the pastry becomes elastic.
  • Chill the pastry in the refrigerator for three hours.
  • Divide the pastry into four pieces and roll each into a circle 0.5cm thick.
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C.
  • Layer the finely chopped meat and vegetables onto the pastry circles and season well.
  • Top with cream or butter, fold the pastry over, and crimp the edges.
  • Brush with beaten egg and bake on a tray for 25 minutes.
  • Apply more egg wash and bake for another 15 minutes until golden.
  • Mix the salad leaves, spinach, watercress, and mint in a bowl.
  • Whisk together the mustard, vinegar, and olive oil for the dressing.
  • Toss the lettuce mixture with the prepared dressing.
