Title: Recipe Review: Chicken and Leek Pie page 54 British Isles on a Plate.
Post by: Cornish Cream on November 23, 2015, 07:07:54 pm: Oh Yum! This is a delicious pie.DH and I love it.I served it with mash potatoes and steamed brussel sprouts.Although is says it serves four (they would be huge servings) I only used about 1/3 of the cooked filling to make the pie for us and it was plenty to eat.You could make your own puff pastry but the recipe suggests using bought puff pastry.
No photo as my cooked pie looked very ugly LOL

Post by: Katiej on December 11, 2015, 10:07:20 am: I sort of made this pie for dinner tonight. I made the filling, but instead of a frozen puff pastry lid I made my own pastry using a Paul Hollywood recipe.

For the filling I didn't quite have 600g of chicken or quite enough leeks, so I added a zucchini as well. I thickened the sauce with a bit of corn flour, as I wanted the filling to be thick as I didn't only put a pastry lid on it I made a full pie.

The pie was delicious and we both enjoyed it. It's a very easy recipe to make.

I used a new pie dish I bought a couple of weeks ago, it has little holes all over it to help the pastry cook.

Post by: spersephone on December 16, 2015, 10:55:12 am: I cook like that, I might be missing something and have to quickly devise a solution. It's good, because you can be creative.

Post by: achookwoman on March 26, 2016, 04:28:07 am: Made this pie today. Used thigh meat not breast. Cooked the filling for an extra 15 minutes. Easy to do with the chip. Just press the reverse arrow and when time is up, then press next.
Turning this mixture into pies for dinner.

Both kids and adults loved it.
Made into 6 pot pies, some with potato on top and some with puff pastry.
Another keeper.

Post by: royalcountygirl on January 30, 2017, 07:12:59 pm: This is a lovely tasting pie and is a hit in my house, adults and kids alike! I made it tonight for the second time. However, I found that the sauce was very thin. That has generally been my experience the bechemal type sauce recipes in the thermomix recipe books. I generally need to reduce down the liquid quantity by about 25% if not more. Anyone else find the same?
