In his Hodgepodge Pie, you can embrace any leftovers you have from Christmas dinner, including turkey meat, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and more. First, Oliver prepared a pastry crust in a pie pan. Then he layered the leftovers, added a homemade sauce, and other ingredients before topping it with cranberry.
“Now we can do the bit that River wants to do,” he continues in the video, referencing his 6-year-old son. His 12-year-old son Buddy is also in the video. Oliver rolls out a pastry and his kids help him press Christmas cookie cutters into the dough. He then puts the left-behind dough over the pie first, then he layers Christmas trees, stars, and hearts on top to fill in the holes before popping it into the oven. It’s just an added way of making the meal even more festive — and keep the kids excited about baking, too.
