4 frozen pie shells -- thawed

1-1/4 pounds pulled pork

4 medium potatoes -- diced

1 large onion -- chopped

1/4 cup rutabaga -- diced

1 carrot diced

1/2 tablespoon sage

1/2 tablespoon thyme

salt and pepper

Mix all ingredients and put 1/4 in each pie shell. Fold the pastry over the filling to make

half-moon shaped pies. Seal the edges and cut a couple of small slits on the top. Bake on

a cookie sheet at 375F for 30 to 35 minutes, then reduce heat to 350F and bake 15 more

minutes. I just replaced the meat in the pasty recipe with pulled pork. It gave it a nice

smokiness and with the BBQ sauce, it was great. I like flaky crusts and hate rolling pastry

dough, so I use frozen pie shells. I get one pasty out of each shell. This makes 4 pasties.

Serve with BBQ sauce and a Stroh's. Posted to the BBQ List on June 6, 1998 by Kit
