Out of stock again so time to poach a chicken. The poaching liquor becomes chicken noodle soup (pictures not included) with the addition some mushrooms, lemon grass, ginger, garlic, chilli, lime, rice noodles and chicken.
Meantime, the chicken gets separated into flesh and bones (pictures deliberately omitted due to them looking like like an alien autopsy, although they do nicely show the amount of gelatin preserved by poaching. Honest).
Time to make chicken pie filling with some bacon, leeks, wine and some of the stock.
Now what to do with this? Not pasties judging by an earlier effort at using the youngest boy's impulse purchase of some diced lamb (and he played no part in the assembly)
Instead take things easy and use some frozen puff pastry. And here comes the genius bit, rather than randomly strewing the pastry offcuts around, roll them out again and cut them with the the smallest pastry cutter, which just happens to be a love heart. And roll these offcuts out again, repeating process till boredom sets in
bake for 30 minutes and love heart pie!
