Easy

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 20 - 30 minutes

Ingredients:

8oz / 250g cooked chicken, shredded

1 lb / 450g cooked ham, diced

2 tablespoons oil

1 medium onion, diced

1 carrot, diced

8oz / 250g mushrooms, sliced

1 cup loosely packed parsley

2 tablespoons flour

2 cups milk

1 lb / 450g puff pastry

salt and pepper to season

Method:

Heat the oven to 400° F / 200° C.
Fry the onion gently in the oil, until it is soft.
Add the diced carrot and fry for about 3 minutes, until the onions and carrots are slightly browned.
Add the mushrooms and fry for a minute. Don't let them overcook, otherwise they will become mushy and lose their shape.
Add the parsley.
Stir in the flour and cook for a minute.
Slowly add the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps developing.
Add the chicken and ham. Season to taste.
Transfer the mixture to a pie dish.
Roll the puff pastry out to the right diameter. Place gently on top of the mixture, making sure that there is enough overlap around the sides of the dish. Decorate the top with any remaining pieces of pastry. Cut a few slits in the pastry topping in order to allow the steam to escape.
Bake for about 20 - 30 minutes, until the pastry is crisp and golden brown. Serve with a big salad.
