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.

Peel 600 g mushrooms and chop into small chunks.

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.

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.
