To Make Filling
To Make Crust
To serve
1
Preheat oven to 180°C.
2
To make filling, heat a splash of olive oil in a frying-pan and gently fry bacon.
3
Once crisp, remove from pan and set aside.
4
In the same pan, gently fry onions until golden brown all over. (A traditional Boeuf Bourguignon leaves them whole.)
5
Remove onions from pan and set aside with the bacon.
6
Using the same pan, brown mince. Pour red wine in slowly.
7
Get it to bubble as it hits the pan and the alcohol will evaporate, leaving the rich flavours behind.
8
Stir through herbs, mushrooms and orange zest.
9
Add stock and stir well.
10
Cover dish and put in oven for 30-40 minutes.
11
Take dish out of oven and remove bay leaf.
12
Take a few tablespoons of liquid and mix with flour and butter to form a paste.
13
Stir paste into meat mixture in pan and you’ll have a delicious, thick gravy.
14
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
