Method
-
step 1
Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a pan. Cook the mushrooms over a fairly high heat, stirring, until cooked and golden – this will really concentrate their flavour when they go into the pie later, so don’t skimp this step.
-
step 2
Scoop the mushrooms out of the pan and add the leeks and butter. Cook gently for 10-15 minutes or until really soft, then sprinkle with the flour. Stir the leeks over the heat for 2 minutes then gradually stir in the chicken stock. Simmer for 3-4 minutes or until thickened.
-
step 3
Add the crème fraîche, mushrooms, chicken and parsley. Tip everything into a baking dish.
-
step 4
Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Cover the baking dish with the pastry, crimp the edges with a fork, then make a steam hole in the centre. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until puffed and golden.
