How to cook it

  1. Cook the diced onion and garlic in a large pan over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes.

  2. Add the pork mince and cook, breaking it up, until browned, about 8 minutes.

  4. Season with salt and pepper and cool completely.

  5. Heat the oven to 375F, line a pie dish with one pie crust, fill with the cooled meat mixture, and top with the second crust, sealing and trimming the edges.
