Sprinkle over any reserved fl our and then add the stock. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and tomato ketchup, then season to taste.Step 3
Simmer for 1 hour, then remove the lid from the pan, raise the heat and cook for 10 minutes to reduce the gravy a little. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.Step 4
Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6. Roll out 2/3 of the pastry on a floured surface and use to line the base and sides of a 1½-litre pie dish. Spoon the filling onto the pastry, then roll the remaining pastry to form a lid. Place over the top of the pie dish, pinching the edges well to seal. Brush with beaten egg or milk to glaze and decorate the top with any pastry trimmings, which you can cut into leaves.Step 5
