My favourite pie recipe complete with Parmigiano Reggiano DOP!
Ingredients (serves 4):
- 60g of pancetta
- 1 leek
- 1 courgette
- 1 white onion
- 3 sprigs of thyme
- 2 tbsp flour
- 250ml milk
- 1 chicken stock cube + 300ml water
- 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp creme fraiche
- 500g cooked chicken (I like it use thigh meat)
- Handful of frozen peas
- 100g Parmigiano Reggiano DOP
- 1 sheet of puff pastry + a beaten egg
Method:
1. In a pan fry off your pancetta for a few minutes before adding in your chopped leeks, courgette, onion and thyme leaves. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft.
2. Then cover with your flour and mix together, before covering with your milk and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer for a few minutes and then add in the Parmigiano Reggiano DOP and remaining ingredients with a generous amount of black pepper.
3. Once the sauce has reduced/thickened, remove it from the heat and place in an ovenproof dish and cover with the puff pastry. Egg wash the pastry and then bake for 30 minutes at 160 degrees.
Enjoy!
