Smoked Chicken, Leek and Mushroom Pie: An Australian recipe for a dish of smoked chicken, leeks, mushrooms and garden peans in a white sauce base that's baked with a puff pastry topping and served with salad.
Melt half the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the leeks and mushrooms, cover the pan and cook gently for about 5 minutes, or until the leeks are soft.
In the meantime, combine the remaining butter, milk and flour in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth.
Add the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Cheddar cheese, parsley and seasonings, stirring the ingredients until well combined. Pour the cheese sauce over the leek mixture then add the chicken and peas and stir until well combined.
Pour the chicken and leek mixture into a greased oven-proof dish (About 21cm square and 5cm deep). Cover with the puff pastry and brush with the beaten egg to glaze. Transfer to an oven pre-heated to 200°C and bake for about 18 minutes, or until the filling is piping hot and the pastry is puffed and golden.
Serve cut into squares and accompanied by a green salad.
