Leftover Time Again!
December 28th 2009 23:49
The festivities are over and the fridge is still full. Mainly of ham, chicken and turkey. Time to use them up in an economical and tasty way.
Under the chapter 'Chicken and Fowl Recipes', Mrs Maclurcan once again comes to the rescue in her ancient cookery book. While she uses chicken I substituted the meat for turkey.
Chicken/Turkey and Ham Pie
Ingredients
1 chicken/turkey or remains of cold one.
4 oz ham (120g)
Parsley
stock
pepper and salt
2 hard boiled eggs.
2 sheets of puff pastry (my addition)
Milk for glazing
Method
1.Cut up chicken/turkey and ham into small pieces and add to a saucepan with a little stock or water (I'd suggest a cup).
2. Add a bunch of parsley (you may want to chop finely) and pepper and salt.
3. Allow it to come to the boil until the chicken/turkey is tender.
4. Turn out into a pie dish greased and lined with one sheet of puff pastry.
5. Cut up the eggs and lay on top of the filling.
6. Cover with the second puff pastry crust.
7. Brush the top with the milk.
8. Put in an oven for 20 minutes at 200 deg celsius.
