Air Frying

Lamb, Pea & Mint Open Spring Pie

This savoury open pie layers rich, garlicky lamb with whipped ricotta, crushed peas, and fresh mint for a flavour-packed slice of spring. The air fryer delivers perfectly crisp pastry in minutes, while the green‑and‑gold contrast makes it a standout dish for sharing. Comforting yet fresh, it’s ideal for weeknight dinners or relaxed weekend hosting.
