Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium carrots, sliced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 medium potato, diced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 store-bought pie crust (or homemade if preferred)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
How to Make Savory Pork Pot Pie
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced pork tenderloin and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Add the sliced carrots and diced potato to the skillet. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the heavy cream, cooked pork, frozen peas, and dried thyme. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Transfer the pork and vegetable mixture into a pie dish. Lay the pie crust over the filling, trimming any excess. Cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the crust with the beaten egg to achieve a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- For extra flavor, marinate the pork in a little soy sauce and garlic before cooking.
- Use fresh herbs for a more vibrant taste; rosemary and parsley pair well with this dish.
- Ensure the filling is not too runny; let it simmer until it thickens to avoid a soggy crust.
Easy Variations
- Substitute the pork with chicken or turkey for a different flavor profile.
- Add other vegetables like corn, green beans, or mushrooms based on your preference.
- For a spicy kick, include a pinch of cayenne pepper or diced jalapeños.
What to Serve With It
- A simple side salad with a light vinaigrette.
- Mashed potatoes or creamy polenta for added comfort.
- Steamed green beans or broccoli for a healthy crunch.
