Ingredients:

100g plain flour
2 tbsp water
140g butter, melted
340g pork sausages, skinned (or sausage meat)
2tbsp tomato purée
2 tomatoes, peeled and sliced
1 onion, sliced
2 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
1/4 tsp mixed, dried, herbs

Method:

Mix the flour, water and butter in a bowl and bring together as a firm dough. Turn onto a floured work surface and knead until smooth and silky. Roll the dough out into a square about 25cm per side.

Mix the sausage meat, tomato purée and herbs in a bowl and spread this over the centre of the pastry square (leaving 10cm clear pastry around the edge). Arrange the tomatoes, onion and eggs on top of the filling then cut the pastry edges in strips about 2cm wide at a 45° angle and arrange over the filling to form a lattice.

Transfer to a greased baking tray then place in an oven pre-heated to 190°C and bake for about 35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and the contents have cooked through. Allow to cool and serve warm with champ or colcannon.
