We are right for each other: he's not petty about food and I can't cook. He has a penchant for western cuisine and I prefer a one-dish menu. He eats whatever I cook, and never says a bad word about it.
Last weekend he requested for Chicken Pie. I didn't have the recipe, so I pretended that I was a superb cook who could simply throw the ingredients into the pot and marvelously turn them into exquisite dishes.
Well, the results were not perfect but they were acceptable to our palates.
Here's what I 'threw' together and turned them into the Chicken Pie:
Chicken - de-bone and cut into small pieces
1 onion - dice
1 carrot - dice
3 potatoes - dice
Green peas
1 packet maggi mushroom soup
3 boiled eggs - cut up into 4 slices each
Salt
Pepper
Thyme
Butter
Puff pastry (Pampas brand)
Method:
1. Boil potatoes, carrot and green peas until tender.
2. Heat butter in a saucepan. Saute the onions until fragrant. Add the chicken meat and fry until it's cooked. Add salt, thyme and a dash of pepper.
3. Follow the instructions for cooking the mushroom soup.
4. Mix all the items in steps 1, 2 and 3 together.
5. Roll out the puff pastry.
6. Arrange the boiled eggs in a baking dish. Pour the mixed items in step 4 on top. Cover with the rolled-out puff pastry.
7. Bake at 200C for half an hour.
