Cook the onion

Add garlic

  • Add minced garlic to the pan. Stir gently and cook for one minute.

Make the roux

  • Sprinkle flour over onions. Stir constantly until the mixture looks smooth and thick.

Add liquids slowly

Add peas

  • Fold in frozen peas. Cook for two minutes until heated through.

Fill the pie dish

  • Spoon the filling into the prepared pie dish. Spread evenly.

Add pastry base

  • Line the dish with pastry if needed. Trim edges neatly.

Cover with pastry top

  • Place pastry sheet over filling. Press edges to seal properly.

Brush with egg

Bake the pie

Notes

  • Serve with gravy for comfort
  • Let filling cool slightly before adding pastry
