The Great Aussie Pie Competition is usually held in Sydney in conjunction with the Fine Food Awards.\u00a0 To our surprise we discovered a few of the award winning pies as we ate and drank our way down the east coast of Tasmania. This recipe may not be quite the gastronomic equal of some of these award winners but it’s tasty and so so easy, it might be worth giving it a go.\u00a0 A great way to get kids involved, making their own big ones for a quick and easy meal or small ones for parties, snacks and school lunchboxes.<\/h3>\n

Alternatively, make savoury tartlets by omitting the pie ‘lids’ (instructions for the more rustic finish are at the end of the pie recipe below).<\/span><\/h3>\n
