- Pour over crust (can be substituted with any pie crust or pastry of your choice)
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup regular plain yoghurt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Stuffing
- 1 onion, sliced
- 3 large leeks, or 4 medium, thinly sliced
- 100g bacon, chopped
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, diced into 1cm cubes
- 250 grams shiitake mushrooms, sliced thinly
- 2 tablespoons light miso
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon ground tarragon (blitz your dry tarragon in a spice grinder)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (omit if using port)
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup red wine or port
- salt and pepper
- Preheat the oven to 190C.rnrnFry the onions and leeks with a little olive oil in a heavy oven proof dish over medium high heat for 10 minutes, or until soft but not colouring. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Turn the heat up to high and fry the bacon and chicken bits for 2 minutes or until just sealed. rnTurn the fire down to medium, add the mushrooms, and a little water as needed to stop the stuff sticking and burning to the bottom of the pan. rnFry for another 2 minutes or until the mushrooms are softening.rnrnAdd the flour and stir well, fry for another minute to cook. Take care not to burn the flour. rnAdd the red wine and sugar and stir well to deglaze the bottom of the pan.
- Add the miso, tarragon power and garlic, stir well to combine and return the leeks/onions to the pan. Stir well and cook for another couple of minutes, adding a little more stock/water/wine/cream if the sauce is too thick. Taste and season with salt and black pepper at this point, and set aside.
- Mix all the crust ingredients together - it should be fairly pourable, if it's too thick add a little milk or water. rnrnIf cooking in your frying pan, simply pour over the crust, otherwise decant into whatever utensil you want to bake in and pour the crust over. rnrnBake for 25-35 minutes or so, until the crust is looking golden and delicious.
