erastes

Something I never do, because good lord, who is interested in recipes any more than anyone is interested in dreams or other people's horoscopes, but the pie was SO delicious I thought I'd share.

Filling

Five or six wings and legs of chicken (yes, don't really do measurements)

two leeks, slicked quite thinly

twelve button mushrooms

one large onion

Fry the onion and leeks gently in a good dollop of olive oil until soft and fragrant. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the mushrooms until they are slightly wilted. Remove from the pan.

In the same pan melt a large knob of butter, then add a tablespoon of flour, and mix quickly – brown the roux for about 30 seconds making sure it doesn't catch on a lowish flame. Gradually start to add milk, stirring all the time until you have a white sauce the consistency of double cream. Taste and add more seasoning—black pepper and salt—to taste.

Cook the chicken in the microwave or over. Cool and remove all the flesh – add the flesh to the vegetable mixture then mix the whole lot together. Put the mixture into pie dish.
