SUET PASTRY

Roll the pastry on a pasta machine to No4 then cut large discs about 11 cm and smaller discs for the lids at 7cm
Making the puddings
Line the molds with cling film then place the large pastry disc inside pressing in firmly but making sure there is no creases in the pastry as these may split after cooking.
Now fill the pastry molds with your chilled ragu mixture finishing the top with a smaller disc of pastry
Pressing the disc firmly down then use a fork to seal the edges and to trim away any excess pastry
Cover the tops with cling film then finish with tin foil to form a firm seal
To cook the pudding place into a steamer and cook for 35 minutes
Garlic and red wine puree
In a pan add equal amounts of water and milk enough to blanch the peeled garlic in
Blanch the garlic for 30 at a time and do this 3 times this removes the hash garlic flavor
Once blanched and drained place into a pan and cover with pomace oil, confit the garlic on a low heat until soft and tender.
Drail the garlic and place into a fresh pan and cover with the red wine then reduce until all the wine has evaporated
Repeat the same with the port and reduce until all has gone, and the garlic has taken on the colour and is nice and sticky
Now blitz in a food blender until nice and smooth and finish with salt and the vinegar to taste
