Rustic chicken and mushroom pie
Step by step recipe:
- 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. - 5 min.
Dice 300 g cooked meat. Here I am using left-over chicken, which is ideal for this recipe. - 10 min.
Peel 600 g mushrooms and chop into small chunks. - 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. - 10 min.
- 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. - 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. - 1 min.
Add the mushrooms and chicken. Mix well. - 10 min.
Add 250 ml liquid cream, mix and leave on low heat to reduce. - 1 min.
- 2 min.
- 3 min.
Fill the pie with the cold filling mixture. - 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. - 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. - 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.
