The ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 leeks, fInely chopped
- 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1 cup cooked ham, cubed
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken stock
- ⅔ cup sour cream
- 3 cups roasted turkey, shredded
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, fInely chopped
- ¾ cup frozen peas
- ¾ frozen carrots, diced
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- 2 cups basic stuffIng
- two sheets puff pastry
The Method:
1
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and cook until softened (about 5 minutes). Remove the leeks and set aside.
2
Add mushrooms to pan over medium heat. Add a pinch of salt and cook until tender (5-7 minutes). Add ham and flour and stir to fully incorporate, moisten flour, and remove any lumps.
Add chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add sour cream and reduce heat to simmer and cook until sauce thickens (3-5 minutes). Remove from the heat and add in turkey, parsley, peas, carrots, and pecans.
3
Preheat oven to 400˚F.
4
Roll the two sheets of puff pastry together to create one thicker sheet. Use the top of a cocotte or ramekin to cut out circles for the top crusts with the point of a paring knife. Cut a small circle in the center of each of the top crusts to allow the steam to escape during baking. Cut 6 long strips (about ½ inch wide) from the remaining pastry dough. Wrap one strip around the edge of each of the cocottes, folding it over the rim.
5
Fill each of the cocottes or ramekins to ½ inch below the rim. Add a layer of stuffng to the mixture, making it slightly rounded at the center.
6
Brush each of the wrapped rims with beaten egg. Press the top crusts to the wrapped rims and crimp with a fork to seal. Use a paring knife to cut away excess dough. Brush the tops of the pastry dough with beaten egg, taking care to avoid the cut edges.
7
Place the cocottes/ramekins on a baking sheet and bake until the crusts have risen and are golden brown (35-40 minutes).
