Poultry Pie

Well this is a great idea ! And you will agree for sure ! Today’s recipe is my poultry pie!

Easter weekend often means family gathering. You will have more than one good meal to prepare. I already introduced the roast lamb leg slowly cooked, here is another good idea!

I found my inspiration when cooking the poultry pie from the chef Guy Savoy. I will introduce a simple and tasty version of his poultry pie recipe. With the “je ne sais quoi” that will make it delicious…

If you’re looking for a comforting dish, if you’re looking for a delicious dish to share, if you’re looking for a dish that can be prepared in advance, well… I would like to say: stop searching! You just found the perfect match!! 😉

I suggest to serve this poultry pie with a green salad and a nice glass of Cour Cheverny Vieilles Vignes, from the domain Benoît Daridan, and it will be amazing!!

This recipe doesn’t require specific cooking know-how, you just need to take your time, follow the step by step (you’ll find pics after the recipe that will illustrate it) and choose quality products. Please forget about the industrial poultry from your supermarket. If you want something good, it starts with your grocery shopping. Go to your butcher and you’ll get a smooth and tasty poultry pie!

Okay now, you’ve got all my recommendations. Let’s do this!

The recipe, Chef!

You can also make the recipe with savory shortcrust pastry. The foie gras makes this pie amazing, but it's not mandatory for a simpler pie.
