Ferdi's Mushroom & Roast Pork Pie

The Mushroom & Roast Pork Pie is Ferdi's most French-leaning pie — a filling of roast pork and cremini mushrooms in a white wine and pork broth sauce, finished with tarragon and mustard and wrapped in buttery pastry. It's the kind of combination that shows up in the bistros of Lyon and the farmhouse kitchens of Burgundy, and it translates beautifully into pie form.

Tarragon and mustard are the flavour backbone here — the tarragon brings an anise-like freshness that lifts the richness of the pork, and the mustard adds depth and a gentle heat that ties everything together. The cremini mushrooms absorb the broth and wine into something earthy and deeply savoury. At 375g it's a generous single serving. Bake from frozen, serve with a simple green salad or some roasted root vegetables, and open a glass of white Burgundy or a light Pinot Noir alongside it.
