- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 500g chicken thigh fillets, trimmed, cut into 3cm cubes
- 400g of Swiss Brown Mushrooms, cleaned, trimmed, thickly sliced
- 50g butter
- 35g (1/4 cup) plain flour
- 1½ tsp mixed spice
- 500ml (2 cups) milk
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed in the fridge
- 1 egg yolk
- Salt and pepper, to season
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In batches, cook the chicken for 5 minutes, turning, until browned, then remove from the pan and set aside. Add the mushrooms, cook for 4 minutes or until golden, tossing the pan frequently, then remove and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Melt the butter in the pan, then stir in the flour and mixed spice. Cook for 1 minute before gradually whisking in the milk until thickened slightly. Return the chicken and mushrooms to the pan and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook for a further 2 minutes or until sauce thickens. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and allow to cool.
- Preheat the oven to 190°C. Remove the pastry sheets from the fridge and cut each sheet in half and place one on top of the other. Using a rolling pin, roll the pastry out to a 4mm-thick rectangle that fits the size of a rectangular 1.5-2L baking dish.
- Stir the frozen peas through the pie filling to combine, then transfer to the baking dish. Place the pastry over the top to cover, pressing down on the edges with a fork to seal in the filling. Make a small cross-incision in the center of the pie to allow the steam to escape. Brush the egg yolk over the surface of the pie, then bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until the pastry is golden. Serve immediately.
Handy hint:
White or brown mushrooms can be used with this recipe.
For those who enjoy more flavour, we recommend swiss brown mushrooms to add a flavour punch!
- 2 large bunches rosemary
- 500g Button or Cup Mushrooms, cleaned, stems removed
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lemon, zest finely grated
- 10g butter
- Salt and pepper, to season
- Strip the leaves from sharpest end of the rosemary sprigs, leaving a few at the top, making enough for 12 skewers. Alternatively, you can use short, soaked bamboo skewers. Thread 3 mushrooms onto each skewer.
- Finely chop the garlic and 1 tbsp of the rosemary leaves together on a board. Heat 2 tsp oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Lightly toast the garlic and rosemary mixture for 1 minute or until lightly golden. Remove and combine with the lemon zest in a bowl.
- Increase the heat to medium-high. Melt the butter and remaining oil in the pan. Cook the mushrooms skewers for 4 minutes each side or until golden and cooked. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a platter and scatter over the gremolata to serve.
*You will need
thick, sturdy rosemary sprigs to be used for skewers in this recipe. Soaked
bamboo skewers are the best alternative. If using rosemary sprigs as skewers,
use a bamboo skewer to make the first incision to make it easier to insert the
rosemary sprigs.
