Chicken, morel mushroom & asparagus one-pan pie image

Cook up a spring chicken and asparagus pie using seasonal morel mushrooms. This hearty one-pan dish is a fresh new take on the classic chicken pie

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 14

100g fresh morel or 30g dried morels
200ml chicken stock (if using fresh morels)
50g butter
2 shallots , finely sliced
3 thyme sprigs , leaves picked
2 bay leaves
1 tbsp plain flour , plus extra for dusting
100ml dry sherry or white wine
200ml crème fraîche
6 skinless boneless chicken thighs , cut into large chunks
bunch asparagus , woody ends removed, stalks cut into 4cm pieces
½ pack tarragon , leaves roughly chopped, plus a sprig to decorate
1 block puff pastry (375g), all-butter is best
1 egg , beaten, to glaze

Steps:

  • If you are using dried mushrooms, heat the stock and soak them for 10 mins, then remove them, strain the liquid and set it aside. If you're using fresh mushrooms, clean them thoroughly before using. Set a couple of the nicest-looking morels aside to decorate the top of the pie, and halve the rest.
  • Heat half the butter in a skillet and fry the halved morels for 3-4 mins or until wilted. Scoop them onto a plate and set aside. Heat the remaining butter and gently cook the shallots in the pan with the thyme and bay. Once softened, stir in the flour and cook for 1 min or until you have a sandy paste.
  • Pour in the sherry and sizzle, then carefully stir in the strained soaking liquid (or 200ml chicken stock if you've used fresh morels), followed by the crème fraîche. Season well and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Add the chicken and poach in the sauce for 10 mins or until the chicken is just cooked through. Remove the bay, stir through the asparagus, tarragon and fried morels, then remove from the heat.
  • Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 8. The pastry needs to sit on top of the ingredients, so if your pan is too deep, use a pie dish instead. Roll out the pastry on a floured surface to the thickness of a £1 coin, then cut the pastry to fit the pan or dish, and drape it over the pie mixture using a rolling pin to help you. Liberally brush with egg, season the pastry with flaky sea salt, and pop your reserved morels on the top. Bake for 20 mins or until the pastry has puffed and is a deep golden brown. Leave tor rest for 5 mins before serving straight from the pan.

CHICKEN, HAM & ASPARAGUS PICNIC PIE



Chicken, ham & asparagus picnic pie image

Create a showstopping picnic pie with chicken, ham, asparagus and pistachios. It takes a bit of effort, but it's well worth it and can be made ahead

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Lunch

Time 3h30m

Yield Serves 10-12

Number Of Ingredients 14

300g asparagus spears
4 chicken breasts
10 slices prosciutto
1.2kg good quality pork sausages , meat squeezed out of the skins, or sausagemeat
150g shelled pistachios
pinch cayenne pepper
75g butter , plus extra for the tin
600g strong white flour , plus extra for dusting
1 tsp mustard powder
whole nutmeg , for grating
75g lard
5 tbsp milk
1 egg , beaten
shallots , finely sliced into rings, salad leaves and French dressing (optional)

Steps:

  • Trim the woody ends off the asparagus (see pic 1 in step by step above) ), bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook them for 2 mins, then lift into a bowl of iced water. Slice the tips off the asparagus and set aside. Cut each chicken breast into long two-finger-thick strips (pic 2), then wrap the prosciutto slices around some of the asparagus spears and chicken strips (pic 3) and set aside. Using your hands, scrunch the sausagemeat with the pistachios in a bowl, season with the cayenne and lots of black pepper, then set aside.
  • Cut a piece of baking parchment to fit the bottom and sides of a lightly buttered 2-litre terrine dish or loaf tin, leaving an overhang (pic 4). To make the pastry, tip the flour into a bowl with 2 tsp salt and the mustard powder, then grate in a small pinch of nutmeg. Put the lard, butter and milk in a pan with 250ml water and heat until the fats have completely melted. Pour into the flour and beat with a wooden spoon until combined. Tip onto your work surface and knead briefly until it all comes together.
  • Take 2/3 of the dough and wrap the rest so it doesn't dry out. Roll it out into a rectangle to line the dish with an overhang. Lay the dough into the dish and, using your fingers, press it into the bottom, corners and up the sides (pic 5).
  • Take 1/4 of the sausage mixture and pat it into a shape that will fit the dish, then lay it in. Now build up the pie with alternate layers of the asparagus, chicken strips and sausagemeat (pic 6), pressing down the mixture with your hands as you go, finishing with a bulging top layer of sausagemeat.
  • Brush the overhanging pastry with the beaten egg, then roll out the remainder and drape it over the top of the pie filling (pic 7). Press the edges together gently, then use a small knife to trim the pastry (pic 8). Crimp the edges by pinching your fingers (pic 9) and use pastry trimmings to decorate the top, if you like. Brush with egg and pierce three holes along the top.
  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 with a baking sheet in it. Place the pie on the hot sheet and bake for 1 hr 45 mins. Lower the heat to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 if the pie is browning too much. When the pie has 20 mins left, brush the top with more egg and season with flaky sea salt. (Don't worry if some juice leaks out of the side.) It's ready when the pastry is dark golden brown or when a digital cooking thermometer inserted through one of the holes reads 70C or more. Leave to cool, then chill. Can be made up to three days ahead. To serve, carefully remove from the tin, place on a board and slice. Make a salad with the asparagus tips, shallot rings, salad leaves and French dressing, if you like.

CHICKEN POT PIE WITH MUSHROOMS AND ASPARAGUS



Chicken Pot Pie with Mushrooms and Asparagus image

My husband says this is the best chicken pot pie he's ever had :) Rich and loaded in goodies. It does take a bit of time to put together, but so worth it!

Provided by April McIver

Categories     Savory Pies

Number Of Ingredients 23

CRUST:
2 2/3 c all purpose flour
3/4 tsp salt
1 c butter
1 large egg
1 Tbsp water
1 1/2 tsp vinegar
1 Tbsp molasses
FILLING:
1 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
4 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
1 small bunch asparagus (about a pound), cut into 1 inch pieces
1 small onion, diced
1 lb mushrooms, quartered or sliced
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cooked and diced
SAUCE:
1 c water
1 Tbsp better than boullion mushroom stock base
2 Tbsp parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp pepper
milk, up to 1 cup
1/4 c flour

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. Prepare filling. Heat 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp canola oil in a large skillet over medium. When the butter is melted add mushrooms, onions, carrots and asparagus. Depending how large your skillet is you may need to do 2 batches. Cook veggies until nearly tender, then remove from heat and set aside. Add diced chicken to the veggies, stirring gently to combine.
  • 2. Prepare crust. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Use a pastry blender to cut in the butter until large crumbs form. Set aside. In a small bowl, beat together the egg, water, vinegar and molasses. Add liquid to flour mixture, stirring just until dough forms. It may be necessary to use your hands to make a smooth dough. Try not to handle it too much or it becomes tough. Divide the dough into two portions. Roll each into a circle between waxed paper. Use one to line a round casserole dish, then bake about 10 minutes. Set the other circle of crust aside for now.
  • 3. Prepare sauce. In a small pot, combine water, mushroom bouillon and pepper. Heat to nearly boiling. In a small bowl or glass Pyrex style measuring cup combine flour with enough milk to equal about 1 cup total. Stir thoroughly until smooth. Slowly pour into hot bouillon, stirring constantly. Add parmesan. Cook and stir until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • 4. Build the pot pie. Transfer the chicken and veggie mixture to the prepared crust. Pour over about 1 cup of the sauce. Top with remaining circle of crust, tucking under edges like for pie. Put at least one slit in the top of the crust to vent. It's best to bake it on top of a cookie sheet just in case it drips, it's a bit of guesswork how much sauce to add for which casserole dish you're using.
  • 5. Bake at 350 for about an hour, until crust is golden. Let cool a few minutes before serving - the crust will become more crisp as it begins to cool. Slice, serve and enjoy!
