The traditional Cornish pasty filling has inspired this family pie, making a hearty (and relatively cheap) meal out of meat, potatoes and pastry.

Method
- Put the lamb, vegetables, stock, thyme and Worcestershire sauce in a large pan. Bring to the boil on the hob, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour.
- Remove the lid and simmer for a further hour, until reduced a bit and the potatoes have partially dissolved, thickening the sauce into a gravy.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Tip the filling into a 2-litre pie dish. Roll out the pastry on a floured surface until 3-4cm bigger than the pie dish, then lay on top of the filling. Crimp the edges inside the dish, like the crust of a Cornish pasty.
- Brush the top of the pie with egg, snip a few air holes in the centre and bake for 30 minutes, until golden.
