Steps

  • Melt butter and one tablespoon of oil in a saucepan and soften shallots and garlic.
  • Toss lamb and kidneys in a bowl with flour, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  • Brown the meat in the pan in batches over high heat.
  • Return all meat and shallots to the pan and de-glaze with red wine.
  • Add stock, simmer for five minutes, season, and let the filling cool completely.
  • Generously butter a 1.2 litre pudding basin.
  • Mix pastry ingredients with approximately 225ml of water to form a soft dough.
  • Roll out three quarters of the dough to a 30cm circle and line the basin.
  • Fill the basin with cooled meat, roll out the remaining dough, and seal the lid.
  • Cover with pleated parchment and foil and secure tightly with string.
  • Steam the basin in a covered pan of boiling water for 2 to 2.5 hours.
  • Rest for five minutes, invert onto a plate, and serve.
