Flaky forester pie
Serve hot or cold with salad for a light but satisfying meal.
What you need
- 25 g butter
- 3 tsp vegetable oil
- 225 g onions, peeled and chopped
- 50 g pine nuts, chopped
- 200 g bacon chopped,
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
- 100 g chestnut mushrooms, wiped and sliced
- 75 g button mushrooms, wiped and sliced
- 6 tsp soured cream
- 3 tsp snipped fresh chives
- seasoning
- 450 g puff pastry, thawed if frozen
- 75 g stilton cheese, crumbled
- 1 beaten egg to brush
- To top
- 1 dash sea salt
- 3 tsp freshly grated parmesan cheese
Method
Heat the butter and oil together until melted. Add onions, pine nuts and bacon. Cook for 4-5 min until softened. Using a slotted spoon, remove onion mixture from pan and set aside.
Add the garlic and mushroom to pan and cook for 2 min or until just softened.
In a large bowl, mix the onion and mushroom mixture together and stir in the soured cream, chive and seasoning to taste. Leave to cool.
Preheat oven to 220°C.
Divide pastry into 2 halves. Roll out one half to a rectangle 25 cm x 15cm. Spread the filling over the rectangle leaving a 2.5cm gap around each edge. Sprinkle over the crumbled Stilton.
Roll out the remaining pastry to a rectangle, slightly larger to cover the filling. Seal the edges together with a little cold water. Knock them up and flute.
Using a sharp knife, make a few slits in the top of the pie to allow the steam to escape. Brush over the beaten egg and sprinkle over the salt and Parmesan.
Cook in the oven for 30 min, until well risen and golden brown.
Serve hot or cold in slices.
Serving suggestion
Garnish with a sprig of flat leaf parsley.
