Cookin again

[Zardnaar]

Tonight I am making chicken pot pie. I made the crust dough yesterday, and I just finished cooking the chicken. I've got some time before cooking the meal, but I'm looking forward to it - I love chicken pot pie!

What else is in it? Haven't had home made chicken pie for a few years.

Chicken, carrots, potatoes, peas and corn in a creamy sauce.

Sounds familiar. Very similar to our one with slightly different veggies.

A few years ago my wife (before we were engaged) and I did a big campervan trip around New Zealand's South island. The entire trip was amazing, but one of my favorite things was the meat pies!

Awesome. They're kinda everywhere down here. Most cafes, stores, gas stations etc.


Slight update to yesterday's video. She made 600-700 steak and cheese pies and had people liming up out the door to try them. $6 (usd 4.50 approx) each plus the other flavours.

I think this is going to be a good chicken pot pie! Here's the filling, super thick!

Well it turned out quite well!

The only adjustment I'd make is to make the top crust thicker. But that was a really yummy dinner!

Looks like a decent recipe!

I’ll say that I do my greens (of all kinds) slightly differently in 2 key ways:

1) I always do my greens in HUGE batches- 18-21 bunches at a time- because they’re frequently requested for gatherings and ultimately, it’s a time saver. Greens freeze and reheat very well.

2) I reserve about half of the seasoning until they’re near the end of cooking, because I’ve developed a technique of adding a flour-based slurry to mine. The slurry is just a combination of the raw flour and some of the liquid in the pot, mixed into something resembling milk. When it’s mixed and added back into the pot and allowed to cook down a bit, that slurry thickens the pot liquids into a thin glaze that will coat every surface of everything in the pot, which is when I do most of the seasoning. This means all the nutrition and flavor that leached out of your greens and other ingredients will stick to the food, along with all the seasoning. Generally speaking, that translates into you actually using less seasoning overall.

Looks like a chicken pie to me.

Last decent pie I had was curry chicken. I think butter chicken might be my favorite chicken pie.

You can get Indian curry pies here.
