  1. TOASTY

    Place the chopped almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  2. MIX THE DOUGH

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Boil a full kettle. Place ⅔ of the flour in a bowl and reserve the rest for the filling. Using your fingers, rub the butter cubes into the flour. The final mixture should look like coarse breadcrumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 egg and a pinch of salt. Using a fork, mix ½ of the whisked egg into the flour mixture. Using your hands, bring the dough together. You don’t want to over-knead the mixture! Wrap in cling wrap and set aside in the fridge.

  3. FAB FILLING

    Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. Place a pot (with a lid) over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion until soft, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the chicken and fry until golden and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and the NOMU rub. Fry until fragrant, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the wine and 1 tbsp of the remaining flour. Mix until the flour is incorporated. Add the chicken stock and 150ml of boiling water. Simmer, uncovered, until the sauce has slightly reduced, 4-5 minutes. Remove from the heat and season.

  4. GOLDEN PASTRY

    Sprinkle some of the remaining flour on a flat surface. Remove the pastry from the fridge and place on top of the flour. Dust a rolling pin (or bottle) with flour and roll out the dough to 5mm thickness. Spoon the pie filling into individual ramekins or a small, deep, oven-proof dish. Carefully lay the rolled out shortcrust pastry on top of the pie filling, trim off any excess pastry, and push down the edges to seal. Lightly brush the top of the pastry with milk or egg and use a knife to pierce a few holes in the top. Bake in the hot oven until the pastry is golden and cooked through, 15-20 minutes.

  5. BRING THE FRESH

    To a salad bowl, add the rinsed leaves. Toss through the crumbled feta, the toasted nuts, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Set aside.

  6. PIE TIME!

    Serve up a hearty helping of chicken & mushroom pie. Side with the feta salad. Enjoy, Chef!
