Curry Chicken Popover Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat the oil and 6 tablespoons of the butter in large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the celery, onions, curry powder and a large pinch of salt and cook until the vegetables are soft and the onions turn translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute, then stir in the peas and carrots. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Slowly add the chicken broth and milk, whisking to remove any flour lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and stir to combine.
• Pour the curry chicken into four 10-ounce ramekins or gratin-style bowls.
• Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Roll the pie crust large enough to cut 4 circles to fit over the ramekins. Lightly brush the edges of the ramekins with the egg wash. Place the pie crust over the top of the curry chicken, pressing to seal along the edges. Using a sharp paring knife, create a few slits in the top of the pies. Brush the top of the crust with the egg wash.
• Bake until the crust is a deep golden brown and the pot pies are bubbly, about 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. Top with pats of the remaining 2 tablespoons butter right before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Toss frozen vegetables with canola oil and spread evenly onto a sheet pan. Place into oven and cook until golden brown.
• In a saute pan heat 1 tablespoon of butter and sweat the onion and celery. In another saucepan, heat the broth and milk. Add 2 more tablespoons of butter to the celery mix and cook out the water. Add the flour and curry and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the hot milk mixture and cook until thickened. Add the parsley, salt and pepper. Toss the browned vegetables and the chicken. Pour into a shallow baking pan, or a large terra cotta pot base, lined with foil, and top with 6 to 8 circles of puff pastry. Place into the oven and cook until puff pastry has browned and the mixture is hot and bubbly, about 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Pour 1 tbsp oil into a flameproof casserole dish. Addthe chicken, season and fry for 4-5 mins on a medium heat, turning, until lightly browned. Remove with tongs and set aside.
• Pour another ½ tbsp oil into the casserole dish and add the spring onions. Fry gently for a couple of mins, then stir in the garlic, ginger and curry powder. Cook for 1 min, then tip the chicken back into the pan, along with the broccoli, soy sauce, coconut milk, chicken stock and cornflour mixture. Bring to the boil, then stir in the kale. Once the kale has wilted, take the dish off the heat.
• Mix the remaining oil with the splash of coconut milk. Unravel the pastry. Brush each sheet lightly with the oil mixture, then scrunch up and sit on top of the pie mixture. Scatter over the nigella seeds, then cook in the oven for 12 mins, or until the pastry is a deep golden brown. Leave to stand for a couple of mins before serving.

Steps:

• Make the crust: In a food processor, pulse together flour, sugar, and salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons ice water. Pulse until dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed (if necessary, add up to 2 tablespoons ice water); do not overmix. Form dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, 1 hour or overnight (or freeze, up to 1 month).
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make the filling: In a large pot, melt butter over medium-high. Add onion and cauliflower and cook until softened, 8 minutes. Add garlic and curry powder and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add flour and stir to coat vegetables. Slowly add broth, whisking constantly until sauce is smooth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in green beans. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in chicken. Pour filling into a 2-quart baking dish.
• On a floured work surface, roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Place dough over dish and fold overhang inward while pinching to crimp edge. Cut vents in dough. Place dish on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling around edge, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Have ready five 24-ounce oval (or 7-inch round) gratin dishes.
• For the buttermilk biscuits: In a large bowl, whisk the flour, salt and baking powder to combine. Transfer 1 cup of the dry ingredients to a food processor, and sprinkle with the cubes of butter. Pulse 5 to 7 times until the butter pieces are pea-size. Transfer to the bowl with the remaining dry ingredients, and stir to distribute the butter evenly.
• Make several depressions in the flour mixture with your fingers; add the buttermilk a little at a time, mixing with your fingers, until it is all incorporated. Gently work the dough just until it comes together. Cover lightly, refrigerate 1 hour.
• For the chicken curry: Warm the oil in a 5-quart saucepan over medium-high heat, then add the chicken thighs, curry powder and lemon grass. Cook, stirring, until the thighs are seared on all sides and the curry powder is chestnut brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the onions and 1/2 cup fish sauce, and cook over medium heat, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pot, for 15 minutes.
• Add the carrots and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered until the carrots are tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and discard the lemongrass. Add the potatoes and coconut milk to the pan, and bring to a simmer. Pull meat from chicken thighs in bite-size pieces. Return the meat to the curry and continue to cook, uncovered, until potatoes are tender, about 20 more minutes. Taste sauce and, if needed (fish sauces vary in saltiness), season with up to 1/4 cup additional fish sauce.
• For assembly: Heat oven to 425 degrees. Divide the biscuit dough into five portions. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out each portion so it will cover the top of a gratin dish to within 1/2-inch of the edges. Distribute the chicken curry among the 5 dishes and top each with dough. Bake until the biscuits are golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 9-inch glass pie plate or 2-quart round casserole with cooking spray.
• In 4-quart Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Cook onion and sweet potato in butter 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Add garlic and curry powder; cook 1 minute. Stir in flour; cook and stir 1 minute. Gradually add milk and broth. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened. Stir in chicken, peas, salt and cilantro. Spoon mixture into pie plate.
• Remove pie crust from pouch; unroll over hot chicken mixture. Fold edge of crust under and flute. Cut slits in top crust.
• Bake 25 minutes or until filling is bubbly and crust is golden.
