Ingredients
For the filling:
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 4 chicken thighs skinned
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 leeks trimmed and cut into slices
- 1 large onion chopped
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 8 ounces ham steak cut into chunks
- 2 carrots peeled and sliced
- 3 potatoes peeled and cubed
- salt and pepper to taste
- a good handful of fresh parsley chopped
- 1 package frozen puff pastry thawed
- 1 tablespoon egg beaten with 1of cold water
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large frying pan. Add the chicken and ham and brown the meat.
- Sprinkle the flour over the browned meat and stir to coat.
- Add the stock, bring to a boil to thicken and add the mixture to the slow cooker.
- Add the remaining oil to a separate pan over medium heat. Stir in the leeks & onion and fry gently for two minutes, stirring occasionally until just softened. Add the carrots and cook for a further minute.
- Add the chopped parsley and potatoes.
- Season the mixture, to taste, with salt and black pepper.
- Pour into the slow cooker with the sauce mixture.
- Cook on low for 3 - 6 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 400f˚/200˚c
- Roll the pastry to about a ¼ inch thick (if not ready-rolled)
- Separate the mixture into 4 individual casserole dishes (or one big one)
- Cover each with pastry, crimp the sides, prick the center with a fork and brush with the egg wash.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving (about 5 minutes).
Notes
- Brushing the crust with egg wash will help to seal the crust and stop the filling from making the crust soggy.
