Pork and watercress pancake pie (boilup pie)

Serves   4
Prep time: 30 mins
Cooking time: 25 mins

"Inspired by Allyson Goftons Chicken & Leek Pie, I realised the pancake topping reminded me of dumplings on top of a boil up. I created this pie, which tastes so much like a reheated boilup (better the next day). The topping originated from Scotland, so it is very much a Kiwi pie, UK/ Maori fusion."
