Ingredients
- 2 onions
- 600 gr. free-range chicken thighs , skin off, bone out
- 350 gr. mixed mushrooms
- 30 gr. thyme
- 375 gr. block of all-butter puff pastry cold
Method
- Preheat the oven to 220 ºC.
- Place a 30 cm non-stick ovenproof frying pan on a high heat, with a smaller non-stick pan on a medium heat alongside.
- Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the larger pan.
- Peel and roughly chop the onions, adding them to the larger pan as you go.
- Roughly chop two- thirds of the thighs, finely chop the rest, and add to the onion pan.
- Cook for 6′, or until golden, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, place the mushrooms in the dry pan, tearing up any larger ones.
- Let them toast and get nutty for 4′, then tip into the chicken pan and strip in half the thyme leaves.
- Remove the pan from the heat, add a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, then stir in 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar and 150 ml of water.
- Working quickly, roll out the pastry so it’s 2 cm bigger than the pan, then place it over the filling, using a wooden spoon to push it into the edges.
- Very lightly criss-cross the pastry, then brush with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
- Poke the remaining thyme sprigs into the middle of the pie.
- Bake at the bottom of the oven for 15′, or until golden and puffed up.
