CREAMY GAMMON PIE WITH ROAST PLUMS

Ingredients

olive oil, to drizzle 2 red onions, sliced 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 medium Sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped 6 leaves fresh sage, chopped 1/3 cup dry white wine 6 cups good-quality chicken stock creme fraiche 300 g cooked gammon 1 egg, lightly beaten 4 ripe plums, cut into wedges 3 Tbsp soft butter 1/2 fresh lemon leaves 50 g caster sugar

Cooking Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Heat the olive oil in a pan and soften the onion, garlic and sweet potato. Add the sage and wine and simmer for 3 minutes. Add the stock and simmer for a further 10 minutes. Stir in the crème fraîche and gammon and spoon the mixture into a heavy-based ovenproof dish. Roll out the puff pastry on a clean, floured surface and use to cover the pie, pinch the edges closed and brush with the beaten egg. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden. Serve with the roast plums. To make the roast plums, place the plums in an ovenproof dish, dot with the butter, drizzle over the lemon juice and sprinkle over the sugar. Roast with the pie for the last 10 minutes of cooking time.
