Game Pie with Mustard Mash for British Pie Week

The British Game Alliance is helping to mark British Pie Week, with this delicious recipe.

Today, we present Game Pie with Mustard Mash. You can’t beat a steaming hot game pie with lashings of ale-rich gravy. It’s simpler than you might think to cook your own; this recipe uses readymade pastry and pre-prepared confit mallard to make the whole thing even easier.

There’s a combination of mallard, pheasant and pigeon but if you can’t get hold of same of the game, you can substitute for more or less of whatever you have available.

The British Game Alliance (BGA), have a brand new assurance scheme from which ensures that consumers can be confident of the provenance of their food from ‘egg to plate’. Game meat marked with the BGA logo have been shot and prepared according to strict ‘best practice’ guidelines.

Registered BGA members are assessed for their compliance to these guidelines by a team of independent auditors – similar to that of the Red Tractor Scheme.

Wild game has seen a surge in popularity with those opting for a flexitarian diet.The meat is low in fat, high in protein and tastes great.

Game, such as pheasant and partridge, has traditionally been solely seasonally available, however, it can now be enjoyed all year round with the help of a BGA assured online retailer: Wild & Game.
