Rustic chicken and mushroom pie

This homely looking pie gets back to what good, old-fashioned pies are all about: it's round, deep and has both a proper bottom and lid.

The one small concession to modernity is the use of puff pastry for a lighter, crisper crust.

The filling combines mushrooms, leeks and diced chicken in a cream sauce.

Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 5 min.

Roll out 200 g Puff or flaky pastry (pâte feuilletée) and line a deep, non-stick tin ( 8" or 20 cm diameter, preferably spring-form type) with this rolled-out pastry.

Trim off the excess pastry, leaving a rim of about half an inch (1 cm) overhanging around the edge. Set aside in the fridge.

Stage 2 - 5 min.

Dice 300 g cooked meat. Here I am using left-over chicken, which is ideal for this recipe.

Stage 3 - 10 min.

Prepare 600 g mushrooms, then cut them into small pieces.

Stage 4 - 5 min.

Pour 30 g goose fat into a saucepan on high heat. When really hot, add the mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes.

Salt and pepper at the end of cooking, after taking off the heat.

Set aside.

Stage 5 - 10 min.

Prepare and finely chop 2 leeks.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Prepare and finely chop 1 onion. Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil in the same pan as before, still on high heat. When really hot, add the chopped onion.

Salt and pepper, then cook for 1 minute without colouring.

Stage 7 - 5 min.

Add the chopped leeks, stir, then cover and cook for 4 or 5 minutes until the leeks are quite tender but still nice and green.

Salt and pepper.

Stage 8 - 1 min.

Add the mushrooms and chicken. Mix well.

Stage 9 - 10 min.

Add 250 ml liquid cream, mix and leave on low heat to reduce.

Stage 10 - 1 min.

Stop cooking when the filling has thickened, then check the seasoning.

Leave to cool.

Stage 11 - 2 min.

Preheat the oven to 410°F (210°C).

Glaze around the edge of the pastry case with beaten egg.

Stage 12 - 3 min.

Fill the pie with the cold filling mixture.

Stage 13 - 2 min.

Roll out 200 g Puff or flaky pastry (pâte feuilletée) into a circle and make a small hole in the centre of this pastry lid to allow steam to escape during baking.

Stage 14 - 4 min.

Lay the pastry circle on top of the pie and press the edge down firmly to seal it.

trim off the overhanging pastry with scissors and glaze top.

Stage 15 - 30 min.

Bake for about 30 minutes, preferably low in the oven, with the tin directly on the shelf.

Do watch for the pastry browning towards the end of cooking.
