Time 3h35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (4 - 5 lb chicken)
i onion stuck with 1 whole clove
1 bunch celery leaves
1 carrot, sliced
1 sprig parsley
1 small bay leaf
pinches of thyme and margjoram
1 tbsp salt or to taste
2 lbs lean ground pork
(use the chicken broth left over from cooking chicken)

Steps:

  • 1. Cut chicken into 4 -6 pieces. Add the chicken to a pot with sufficient cold water to cover the chicken. Cover the pan and cook over low heat until chicken is tender. Cool in the broth for 1 hour.
  • 2. Meanwhile in a lightly greased pan, lightly brown the lean grown pork.
  • 3. Stir in enough of the chicken broth to just cover the ground pork. Cover and cook over low heat for 2 hours.
  • 4. Remove chicken from the bone and chop. Add the chicken meat to the pork, mix well and taste to see if you need to add more seasonings. Allow to cool.
  • 5. Preheat oven to 450 F. Prepare enough pastry for two - two crust pies. Divide into 4 equal portions and roll each out separately. Use two portions to line two deep dish 9 inch pie pans.
  • 6. Divide the cooled mixture between the two pie pans. Cover with top crusts. Flute and seal edges and then slash the top crust, to allow steam to escape.
  • 7. Bake in 450 F oven for 10 minutes than lower the heat to 350 F and continue baking for 30 - 40 minutes longer.
