After a chilly day out and about looking for retro crockery I made a Chicken and Mushroom Pie. After the pie was assembled I put together a Chocolate And Sultana Loaf Cake.
The pie will be served with... what else.... but mashed potatoes and spicy baked beans. The baked beans thing is a lower cost version of a Mary Berry recipe. In the original recipe Mary uses red and green peppers, onions and mustard and ketchup. In my version I've opted for Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and plenty of black pepper.
I have though made Mary's version many times but I'm out of peppers and ketchup and mustard too. So a skinflint/bad housewife version will have to do.
The pie is another version of another Mary Berry recipe.
Her version uses leftover lamb and onions, my version, leftover roast chicken and to eke it out, a couple of chestnut mushrooms and onions.
This is a gorgeous little pie, full of flavour, easy to make and economical too. What more could a busy housewife want?
I'm going to serve slices of the loaf cake with some chilled evaporated milk, it's homey.
