Archerfield chef shares recipe for St Andrew's Day pie

Derek Johnstone, also a former BBC MasterChef: The Professionals winner, has teamed up with Make it Scotch, the consumer-focused arm of Quality Meat Scotland, to create the 'Scotch Lamb Muckle Pie'.

The Scotch lamb used in the pie is born and reared on Scottish farms that hold whole-of-life, whole-of-supply-chain quality assurance.

The pie can be made by following the recipe at makeitscotch.com/recipe/scotch-lamb-muckle-pie-lamb-for-st-andrews-day-2024

Mr Johnstone said: "Scotch lamb is amazing all year round but tastes particularly good at this time of year – the Scotch Lamb Muckle Pie is a tasty celebration of Scotland's natural larder.

"In my opinion, Scotch lamb has the potential to become as iconic and synonymous with St Andrew’s Day as haggis is to Burns Night.

"We wanted to create something that is delicious and also embodies the warmth and tradition of Scottish hospitality – who doesn’t love a pie?!

"I’m thrilled to share this dish and hope it becomes a beloved part of many St Andrew's Day celebrations for years to come."

The pie combines a savoury Scotch lamb filling with a flaky pastry crust.
