Let’s make it.

Simmer pork, onion, potato, stock and allspice in a saucepan, breaking up meat, for 20 minutes until pork reaches 71°C / 160°F and potato is tender. Reduce excess liquid and cool filling promptly.
Heat oven to 190°C / 375°F. Line a 22 cm pie tin with half the pastry and add cooled filling.
Cover with remaining pastry, crimp edges, cut a steam vent and brush with egg.
Bake 35–45 minutes until pastry is golden and filling center reaches 74°C / 165°F. Rest ten minutes before slicing.
