Recipe's preparation

Shortcrust Pastry

Make two portions of the Thermomix Shortcrust Pastry recipe from the Basic Cookbook and divide into portions large or small enough for the pie tins you will be using.

In this recipe, I made 6 small pies and one large pie. This included the pastry base and top.

Filling

Chop leek into 2-3 cm portions.

Place onion, leek, garlic and herbs into the bowl. Chop speed 6 for 6 seconds. Check and chop again if required.

Place butter, oil in the bowl and saute Varoma speed 1 for 4 minutes.

Place the chicken, cream, stock, parmesan and mustard into the bowl and cook on 100

speed 1 for 10 minutes.
Allow the filling to cool while you roll out the shortcrust pastry.

Place pastry into the base of your pie dish and fill with chicken and leek mixture. Place another layer of pastry on top. Pinch sides, or you can tuck in the pastry as per my photo and brush with egg wash.

Prick two to three holes in the top of the pies and bake in 180 degree oven until brown on top - approximately 20 minutes depending on your oven.

Tip

You will need a rolling pin and pie tins.

I place my small pie tins on an oven tray to make it easier to put in and out of the oven.

These pies can be frozen.

Thermomix Model

Recipe is created for
TM 5

If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
