    This is one of very traditional recipes that I got from my friend's grandmother when we were visiting them.She had made this for our picnic and it was all gone within minutes of being served.Here is a recipe guaranteed to satisfy the heartiest country (or city) appetite.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup plain flour
    • 1 cup self raising flour
    • 150 gm butter,chopped
    • 1 egg yolk,lightly beaten
    • Cold water chicken breasts
    • 1 ham steak
    • 6 spring onions,finely chopped
    • parsley
    • 1 tsp mixed herbs
    • pepper to taste
    • 5 hard boiled eggs
    • Beaten egg yolk for glazing

    Directions

    1. Sift flours into a mixing bowl.Rub butter in with fingertips until mixture resembles breadcrumbs.Add egg yolk with enough cold water to form a firm dough.Chill for about 30 minutes.
    2. Take two thirds and roll out to fit into a 23 cm greased spring-form tin.Shred Chicken breasts and cube ham steak.In a bowl,mix with spring onions,parsley,mixed herbs and pepper.
    3. Spread half of the mixture into parsley case.Arrange the whole shelled hard-boiled eggs over the top and cover with remaining mixture.Roll out rest of the pastry to form a cover.Moisten the edges of pastry case and place cover on top,pressing edges together to seal.Decorate with scraps,brush with beaten egg yolk.Cut 2 small slits in top to let steam escape.
    4. Bake in a moderately hot oven ( 190 C ) for 30 mins.Reduce heat to moderate ( 180 C ) and bake a further 1 hour, covering the top with foil if it browns too quickly.Cool and chill in the refrigerator.Serve with salads and a cold beer or juice on the side.
