Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C and grease a 25cm spring-form pie tin with lard.
  • Mix the game meat, pork belly, apricots, nuts, and spices in a large bowl.
  • Rub butter into the flours and add a boiled mixture of 200ml water, salt, and lard.
  • Knead the dough until smooth, then roll out two-thirds to line the prepared tin.
  • Layer the filling into the pastry case with fresh sage leaves in between layers.
  • Seal the pie with the remaining pastry, glaze with egg yolk, and make a steam hole.
  • Bake at 200°C for 30 minutes, then reduce to 160°C and bake for 1 hour 45 minutes.
  • Whisk soaked gelatine into hot stock and pour into the pie's steam hole while hot.
  • Cook the chutney ingredients in a pan until thickened, then store in a jar.
  • Slice the cold pie and serve with the chutney alongside.
