Ingredients

Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩‍🍳 method for this recipe

• 225 g onions, peeled and sliced
• 90 g butter
• 340 g cooked meat, poultry or game, finely chopped
• 285 ml meat stock
• 450 g cold, mashed potatoes
• 225 g cooking apples, peeled and very thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs

Mise en place

• Keep in the apple slices in a bowl of water to which lemon juice has been added, until ready to use.
• Preheat oven to 190° C (375° F - gas 5).

Method

1. Melt half of the butter in a pan and add the onions.
2. Fry until soft and golden-brown and mix with the stock and the meat.
3. Grease a casserole or baking dish with 15 g of butter.
4. Add half the meat, in a layer, in the bottom of the dish.
5. Cover with half the potatoes and then all of the apples.
6. Add the remaining meat and finish with a layer of the remaining potatoes.
7. Sprinkle with the breadcrumbs and pour over the remaining 30 g butter which has been melted.
8. Bake for 20 minutes.

Variations

You do not have to stick to one sort of meat. Use whatever combination you like. However, I am not sure about the wisdom (for safety reasons) of using pork, as this meat should not be re-cooked.

Agreeing with Julia regarding the pork, I scratch cooked pork loins in a nice soup for this dish as that's what the apples go best with.

Chef's notes

There was not enough mashed potato to layer as described so I just added the meat and soup, a layer of apples and then the mashed potato and breadcrumbs.

I should have realised that at 190° the apples would never cook. They were barely warm! They either need to be on the very top, very thinly sliced or maybe even grated.
