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.

Remarks

Everything up to stage 10 can be prepared the day before cooking.

Keeping

A few days in the fridge.
