Stage 1 - ⌛ 30 min.

Prepare 400 g carrot and 400 g turnips. Cut into small dice about 1/2 cm (1/4 inch) across.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 15 min.

Cut 300 g green beans into 1/2 cm (1/4 inch) chunks.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 10 min.

If you are using fresh peas, shell them to give 300 g peas, otherwise, use this weight of frozen peas.

Leave to cook until tender.

Remove the carrots with skimmer or araignée (spider) and drain in a strainer or colander.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 15 min.

Cook and drain the other vegetables in turn the same way: turnips, green beans and peas.

Note: do not throw the cooking water away, as this is now a very good vegetable stock.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 3 min.

It is important to drain the vegetables throroughly. I advise you to give them a whirl, each in turn, in a salad spinner...

... then leave them to wait on a tea towel or on absorbant paper.

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.
