The recipes in this book delighted us so much we just had to share a few
with you.
Chicken pot pie
(Serves 4)
You’ll need:
2 onions; 600g chicken thighs, skin off,
bone out; 350g mixed mushrooms; 1
bunch of fresh thyme (30g); 400g puff
pastry (cold)
Method:
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Place a
30cm non-stick ovenproof frying pan
on high heat, with a smaller non-stick
pan on a medium heat alongside.
Pour 1 Tblsp olive oil into the larger
pan. Peel and roughly chop the
onions, adding them to the larger pan
as you go. Roughly chop two-thirds
of the thighs, finely chop the rest,
and add to the onion pan. Cook for
six minutes, or until golden, stirring
occasionally.
Meanwhile, place the mushrooms
in the dry pan, tearing up any larger
ones. Let them toast and get nutty for
four minutes, then tip into the chicken
pan and strip in half the thyme leaves.
Remove pan from the heat, add a
pinch of sea salt and black pepper,
then stir in 1 Tblsp red wine vinegar
and a cup of water.
Working quickly, roll out the pastry
so it’s 2cm bigger than the pan,
then place it over the filling, using a
wooden spoon to push it into the
edges. Very lightly criss-cross the
pastry, then brush with 1 tsp olive oil.
Poke remaining thyme sprigs into the
middle of the pie. Bake at the bottom
of the oven for 15 minutes, or until
golden and puffed up. Easy!
