Shallots add gentle sweetness and aromatic complexity, especially when slowly caramelised until golden.

Together, these ingredients create a savoury mixture that feels both hearty and refined.

Red wine, and vegetable stock or a touch of cream can enrich the filling, while parsley adds warmth and fragrance.

Encased in flaky pastry, the pie bakes to a golden crust that contrasts pleasingly with the tender interior.
