1
Note: Tie the sprigs together with a white thread that will hold up. THIS with your clove is the bouquest garni. Cheese cloth will also do. They do not remain in the pie.
2
Cook the pork with the onion and carrot for about 8 minutes over a gentle flame. Stir in the stock and cook until carrots are nearly done.
3
Add the potatoes, clam juice, bouquet garni, and clove.
4
When potatoes are nearly done add the clams and cook gently for 10 more minutes. Mix the water and the flour until smooth [God invented blenders for a reason dear.] then salt and pepper.
5
Gradually stir the flour mix into the pie filling and cook for 5 more minutes. Stir occasionally. Toss the gari and the clove. Taste for seasoning and adjust. Stir in the peas [well drained btw].
6
Place in a casserole dish. Cover with your favorite biscuit dough.
7
Slit to allow steam to escape.
8
Bake at 400F or until brown about 20 to 30 minutes.
9
Serve immediately.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
