Hello my friends,
I think you won’t a recipe that is more French than the famous “Pate en croute” or pie crust. Here’s my version as a crown for Christmas…
It’s actually quite a chic version since it’s made with delicate ingredients… Poultry and Foie gras !
Let’s see the recipe, Chef!
Poultry and Foie Gras Pie
Ingredients
- Savory shortcrust pastry
- 250 g flour
- 150 g soft butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp milk
- Stuffing
- 600 g chicken fillets
- 150 g foie gras
- 150 g fresh mushrooms
- 50 g thick cream
- 2 shallots
- A few sage leaves
- 2 eggs
- Salt
- Pepper
- Assembly
- 20 g butter
- 1 tbsp flour
- 20 almonds
- A few sage leaves
- A few cranberries
Instructions
Savory shortcrust pastry
Combine the flour, salt, sugar and butter in the bowl of your food processor until you get a crumble texture.
Add the milk and egg. Mix.
Spread the pastry between 2 baking papers with a 5 mm thickness and put in the fridge for one hour at least.
Stuffing
Cut the chicken fillets in cubes.
Cut the foie gras in cubes.
In a large bowl, mix gently the chicken cubes, the foie gras cubes, the mushrooms, the shallots, sage and cream.
Add the eggs one by one.
Add salt and pepper and set aside in your fridge for one hour.
Assembly
Preheat your oven at 180 C / 355 F degrees.
Butter and flour your mold.
Place the almonds at the bottom.
Spread the pastry with a 5 mm thickness.
Place the pastry in the mold.
Pour the stuffing.
Cover with more pastry, make sure the boarders stick together and make holes on top so that the steam can get out of the pie during cooking.
Cook for 50 minutes.
Unmold and place on a grid. Be careful, some liquid might get out.
Place sage leaves and cranberries on top and serve!
