Try all six delicious flavors of our Deli Pot Pies!

Winter brings shorter days and cooler temperatures, and also Pot Pies at Zingerman’s Deli!  the Deli’s pot pies are handmade and are a special way you can warm up your dinner table this winter. Pick them up anytime and tuck them into your freezer for the next bone-chilling night. You’ll be thankful for these easy, delicious winter meals when you don’t want to trek outside!

CLASSIC CHICKEN

Free-range chicken hand-picked off the bone, diced and blended with chunks of celery, carrots, onions, button mushrooms, red and green bell peppers, red skin potatoes and thyme swimming in a rich sauce of housemade chicken broth and Calder Dairy heavy cream.  This is by far our most popular pie!  So popular, that we always have them year round in our Deli freezer for you!

TASTY TURKEY

This pie is similar to its feathered cousin, except we use pasture-raised turkey from Ferndale Farms. We also add a bit of Turkish urfa pepper, a dark purplish pepper that is sundried by day and wrapped and “sweated” by night for over a week to bring out a rich, earthy flavor and smoky aroma.

FUNGI POT PIE

Our Fungi Pie features full of four varieties of mushrooms (Michigan hen of the woods (maitake), shiitake, oyster, button) from Mycopia mushroom growers in Scottsville, MI. It is our vegetarian selection. To enhance its distinction we add Balinese long pepper. Once acclaimed by the Romans as the ultimate peppery spice, this cattail-like pepper grows wild in the forested central highlands of the Indonesian island of Bali, surrounded by coffee, vanilla and spice plantations. It adds a nuanced floral sweetness.

CHESHIRE PORK

We don’t like to play favorites, but if we had to choose, our pork pie would have to be it. This recipe was derived from a thorough combing of traditional British cookbooks one afternoon at the library many years ago. I think it is our most unique pie, combining sweet, sour and savory in a delicious concoction. Chunks of local pork are braised in fresh apple cider, along with onions, rosemary, freshly grated nutmeg, lemon zest and large bites of Newton Pippin Apples from Alber Orchard. Wrapped miner style (no tin).

DINGLE LAMB

This pie is also served pastie style, and features Michigan-raised lamb, as well as loads of potatoes, carrots, celery, onions and rutabaga. A hint of toasted cumin and rosemary give it extra mouth-watering appeal. The idea for this pie was originally inspired by Darina Allen, friend and teacher to both Ari and Rodger, and owner of the famous Ballymaloe Cookery School in County Cork, Ireland.

RED BRICK BEEF

Imagine a hearty beef stew wrapped in a buttery crust and that’s exactly what you’ll find in this bullish pie. Our Michigan-sourced beef is grass-fed. The beef is diced into big cubes and then stewed in dry red wine with carrots, celery, onions, garlic, bay leaves and fresh thyme. The outcome leaves nothing to be desired except for, perhaps, a second helping.
