<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #253d00; font-family: Arial;">Ingredients</span></strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #253d00; font-family: Arial;"><br />
500g/1lb 2 oz puff pastry<br />
1 egg, lightly beaten<br />
plain flour</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #253d00; font-family: Arial;"><br />
<strong>For the filling</strong><br />
1 onion, chopped<br />
2 cloves garlic, chopped<br />
30g/1oz butter<br />
300g/10oz new potatoes, peeled and cut roughly into 1.5cm/½in thick chunks<br />
1 orange, zest only<br />
150ml/5fl oz dry white wine<br />
2½ tbsp plain flour<br />
300ml/10¾fl oz chicken stock<br />
salt and freshly ground black pepper<br />
700g/1lb 9oz boneless chicken, cut into 3-4cm/1½in chunks<br />
150ml/5fl oz double cream<br />
300g/10oz asparagus, trimmed and cut into 4cm/1½in lengths</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #253d00; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #253d00; font-family: Arial;">Method</span></strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #253d00; font-family: Arial;"><br />
1. For the filling, fry the onion and garlic gently in the butter until tender, without browning.<br />
2. Add the potatoes, orange zest and white wine, and boil down until the wine has virtually disappeared.<br />
3. Sprinkle over the flour and stir for a few seconds, so it is evenly distributed.<br />
4. Gradually stir in the stock, to make the sauce.<br />
5. Season with salt and pepper.<br />
6. Stir in the chicken.<br />
7. Cover and leave to simmer away quietly for 10 minutes or so.<br />
8. Stir occasionally, then uncover for another five minutes, until sauce has thickened.<br />
9. Stir in the cream and cook for a final three minutes.<br />
10. Meanwhile, cook the asparagus lightly in salted water, until tender, but not floppy.<br />
11. Drain.<br />
12. Stir the asparagus in with the chicken and potatoes.<br />
13. Taste and adjust the seasoning.<br />
14. Spoon the whole lot onto a 1 &#8211; 1.5 litre/1¾ &#8211; 2½ pint pie dish and leave to cool.<br />
15. Preheat the oven to 200C/425F/Gas 7.<br />
16. Roll the pastry out thinly on a floured board.<br />
17. Cut out a couple of long strips, about 1cm/½in wide.<br />
18. Brush the edge of the pie dish with the beaten egg.<br />
19. Lay the strips on the edges, curving to fit, and cutting so that they go all the way round, but don&#8217;t overlap.<br />
20. Brush with egg wash, then lay the remaining pastry over the top.<br />
21. Trim off excess, and press the pastry down all around the edge to seal.<br />
22. Use the trimmings to make decorative leaves, or flowers or whatever takes your fancy, and then glue them in place with the beaten egg.<br />
23. Make a hole in the centre so that steam can escape<br />
24. Chill the pie in the fridge for 30 minutes, then brush with beaten egg and place in the oven.<br />
25. After 10 &#8211; 15 minutes, when the pie is golden brown, reduce the heat to 190C/375F/Gas 5 and continue cooking for a further 20-25 minutes.<br />
26. Serve hot.</span></p>
