Coronation party food recipes everyone needs for The Big Lunch
Four small ovenproof ramekins
Method
Preheat the oven to 210C/190C fan and line each dish with parchment paper or grease with butter. Then, roll out the pastry into a 40cm by 40cm square, and cut out four 16cm wide discs. A saucepan lid or plate can be used to cut around.
Line the casserole dish with larger pieces of pastry, pressing carefully into the base and side to create a slight overhang. Once lined, mix the pork, sage and chutney then add pepper for extra seasoning. Next, take half of the meat mixture and divide it between the four pastry cases, placing a layer of apricots on top of each.
Top each pie with a lid before sealing and crimping the edges for a uniform look. A Le Creuset spokesperson said: To make sure you get that glossy glaze, crack an egg yolk into a bowl, add two pinches of salt and beat well with a fork. Make sure you really cover the pastry brush with as much of the yolk as possible and brush over your pork pie entirely for an even, golden finish - dont leave any patches.
The remaining pastry can be used to make four crowns, or 16 stripes for the Union Jack Flag. Add the chosen decoration on top and brush once more with the glaze before cooking. Bake until the puppies are a deep golden brown colour with crisp pastry (around 40-45 minutes). The La Creuset spokesperson said: Once out of the oven, you should leave your pork pies for no more than 15 minutes to cool down and then tip them out to serve.

One Royal Gala apple, grated and excess juiced removed
Method
Preheat the oven to 200C before making the sausage meat filling. To do this, combine the pork, red onion, apple, thyme leaves, fennel seeds, chilli flakes, lemon zest, plus the salt and pepper in a bowl.
Cut the rolled pastry sheet in half, lengthways and place a strip of the mixture down the centre of each, going right up to the edges.
Brush the exposed pastry with a beaten egg, take the edge of the pastry, and roll it up to seal each one. Brush with more egg on the top and side before making three score lines along the top of each roll.
Line a baking sheet with greaseproof paper and place into a hot oven for 20 minutes until golden brown, puffed up and cooked through. Serve hot or cold.

Vegetarian coronation chicken alternative
Try this recipe for Coronation chickpea naan wraps, a vegetarian take on the classic dish crafted for Queen Elizabeth II's coronation lunch.
Ingredients (four servings)
120g Greek yoghurt, plus 2-3 tablespoons to serve
Two tablespoons mayonnaise
Two tablespoons of mango chutney, plus two tablespoons to serve
Half a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
Two teaspoons of mild curry powder
Half a teaspoon of ground turmeric
One-quarter of a teaspoon of ground cinnamon
One teaspoon lime pickle (optional)
400g tin of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
One Jazz Apple, cored and diced
30g dried cranberries
Half a teaspoon of smoked paprika
Method
Divide the sausage meat into six equal portions and roll each one into a ball. Place a sausage meatball onto your counter, or parchment paper if you want to save cleaning up later and pat it down into an oval shape big enough to hold the egg.
Place the peeled boiled egg in the centre of the sausage meat and wrap the sausage meat around the egg tightly. For the coating, divide the ingredients into three bowls - one with flour and garlic powder combined, another with a beaten egg, and the third with panko or breadcrumbs, brown sugar and smoked paprika powder.
Roll each sausage meat-covered egg in bowl one, then two, then three and set aside. Cook in an air fryer at 190C for 12 minutes, allowing plenty of space around each one for air to circulate. Turn each Scotch egg halfway through for even browning.
