Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and coconut flour.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and work it into the flour mixture using your fingers until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Beat one egg and add to the flour mixture, mixing to form a dough. Wrap the dough in cling film and chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
While the dough chills, prepare the filling by finely dicing the pork shoulder and pork belly.
In a separate bowl, mix the diced pork with 1 teaspoon of salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide it into two pieces, roughly one-third for the lid and two-thirds for the base.
Roll out the larger piece of dough between two sheets of parchment paper to fit a pie tin, leaving a little overhang.
Press the dough into the pie tin and fill with the pork mixture, packing it tightly.
Roll out the remaining dough for the lid, place it over the filling, and crimp the edges to seal. Trim any excess dough.
Brush the top of the pie with a beaten egg to glaze.
Create a small hole in the center of the pie lid to allow steam to escape.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the pie bakes, dissolve the gelatin in the chicken broth. After the pie is baked, carefully pour the gelatin mixture into the hole in the top of the pie using a funnel.
Allow the pie to cool completely and then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set the gelatin.
Serve chilled and enjoy this keto-friendly English pork pie!
