CREAMY MUSHROOM MINI PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• To begin making the Creamy Mushroom Mini Pie Recipe, get all the ingredients ready and make the pie crust according to the "short crust tart pastry dough" recipe. Refrigerate the pie dough for a couple of hours.
• While the pie dough is refrigerating, we will proceed to make the mushroom pie filling.
• To make the pie filling, heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan, add the onion and saute until it gets browned and close to caramelized. The caramelized flavor of the onions, brings out the delicious taste in the Mushroom pie.
• Once the onions are browned, add the garlic and the mushrooms and saute on high heat until the mushrooms get cooked through. The mushrooms release a lot of water while cooking as well. Allow the water from the mushrooms to evaporate.
• Once done, add the salt, pepper, basil and cream. Stir well to combine. You should have a thick mushroom mixture. If you feel it's a little more liquidy, then add a teaspoon of cornflour to thicken the mushroom pie filling. Turn off the heat and keep aside.
• Once the pie dough has firmed well in the refrigerator, it's time to roll and shape them into pies.
• You can bake the mini pies in large muffin moulds or pie tart pans. Grease these moulds with butter and keep aside. Preheat the oven to 180 C.
• Dust the kitchen platform with flour and roll the pie dough into a large rectangle.
• Roll the chilled dough on a floured work surface, and cut 10 cm circles with the help of a cookie cutter. The circle should be the size that will fit into the pie pan or the muffin pan.
• Once you have cut out the circles of dough, press one circle into each mould cavity till the edge and cut off the rest. If you think the dough is bigger and tends to fold inside the cavity, pinch the dough well so that it merges well. Do this with the remaining pie dough as well.
• Spoon the mushroom pie filling into each of the pie dough cavities. The next step is to cover the top of the pie with dough.
• To cover the top you will need more dough, so just measure the top and use a cookie cutter of that size to cut out the dough. Roll out the remaining dough, and stamp out circles and use these circles to cover the top of the pie. Pinch the sides of the bottom and the top dough to seal the pie from all sides.
• Make small insertions with a knife on the top of the pie to help release of air while the pie is baking.
• Now beat an egg, and brush over the edges of the pastry dough, also brush the pastry lid and pinch both them together. Also brush the top of the pastry lid with the egg wash and sprinkle sesame seeds from top. If you want to make it eggless, you can use milk as well.
• Bake the Mushroom Pie in a preheated oven for 28 to 30 minutes at 180 degree celsius until you notice the crust is browned, golden and crisp. Once done, remove from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before you are ready to serve.
• Serve the Creamy Mushroom Pie along with a bowl of Lemongrass Soup, a Garlic Bread and a glass of wine for a weeknight dinner or even when you have friends over for parties.

SOUP-A-SIMPLE CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM PIE

Steps:

• Tip: Remember to get pastry out of fridge 45 mins prior to use. Using a large non-stick frying pan, heat 2 tbsp of the oil. Gently fry the diced or cubed chicken for approx 7-8 mins until golden brown all over, add a little seasoning as you prefer, if using dried thyme add it to this stage of the cooking to allow time for the herb to release its flavour. Do this in batches, if using a smaller pan. Place a sieve or colander over a bowl, pop the chicken into this to drain liquids and aid cooling. Into the same frying pan, heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil, add the onion, after 1-2 minutes, add the mushrooms and fresh thyme, then fry on a high heat for another 3 mins until the onions start to colour. Once cooked add this to the pre-cooked chicken to drain liquids and cool. Add a handful of frozen petit pois for sweetness and colour. No need to thaw.
• Empty the can of condensed soup into a medium pan. Tip. Keep can! Use the cream of mushroom one rather than chicken as this will enhance these flavours to balance those of the chicken. Using the empty soup can, add the juices of the drained pie filling top up with water to half a tin. This provides additional liquid necessary to turn the condensed soup into a ready-made mushroom sauce. Gently heat the soup and stir the liquid together until smooth. Add additional water to suit your personal consistency preference. Leave to cool.
• Add the cooked and cooled pie filling to the sauce and gently stir coating all the meat. Spoon the filling into a large pie or baking dish (approx 20 cm.) with a lip. Pre-heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7.
• Using a floured surface, roll out the pastry to 3-4mm thick and at least 30mm larger on all sides of the dish shape you intend to use. Cut a long strip the width of the pie dish rim approx 1cm, brush with the egg, and fix pastry strip to the edge of the pie dish. Brush the strip again with egg, then using a rolling pin to lift the remaining pastry over the pie. Gently crimp around the edges with a fork and trim with a sharp knife. Brush lightly with egg to glaze. If you would like to decorate the top, you can use any of the pasty off-cuts to create leaves or shapes, press them onto the glazed top, and re-glaze these, finally, a gentle sprinkle of dried thyme or italian herbs, freshly ground sea salt and black pepper on top. Last, but not least, put a small knife incision or hole in the centre of the crust to allow the steam to escape.
• You are now ready to bake. Tip. If you are placing dish directly on rails pop a tray underneath in case the sauce decides to make an early exit. Place towards top of oven, 30 mins or until the pastry is slightly risen and dark golden brown.

PIE CRUST MUSHROOM SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C Peel and roughly chop mushrooms, including the stems.
• In a non-stick heavy-based pan, add some liquid and cook the onion until they're soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute after. Add the mushrooms and cook until soft. Sprinkle the flour over the top and stir for a minute.
• Stir in the stock, add thyme and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Allow to cool before lightly processing the mix with a stick. I like mine with a lot of texture so do it to your own taste.
• Stir in the sherry and the evaporated milk.
• Pour mix into 4 ovenproof bowls or individual serving casserole dishes/ramekins. Use small deep dishes in any case so the pastry doesn't flop into the soup.
• Cut rounds of pastry slightly larger then the bowl tops (or do this first tracing bowl tops)and cover each bowl with the pastry.
• Seal the edges and give each pastry top a light brush with the egg or the no fat milk.
• Bake for 15 minutes until golden and puffed.
• Serve steaming hot.
