- In a round-bottomed mixing bowl, mix cubes of veal, onion, laurel, salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours.
- Remove meat from refrigerator, add potatoes and mix well.
- Roll out two pastries with pie dough. Place the first one in a pie plate of
10 in. x 2 in. (25 cm x 5 cm), place meat mix in it and cover with second pastry after making a big hole in the middle to add liquid during cooking. - Seal the outside of the meat pie and coat with egg wash.
- Place in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 30 minutes in order to bake the crust.
- In a frying pan, bring the veal stock to a boil before pouring a portion into the centre of the meat pie.
- Continue baking in the oven at 150°C (300°F) for 3 to 4 hours (the longer the cooking time, the more the meat will flake apart.) Add the rest of the veal stock in the meat pie during cooking; if necessary, continue adding boiling water if you run out of stock.
- Serve with small vegetables.
