Time 1h30m

Yield 1 pie, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 lbs rabbit or 1 1/2 lbs venison steak
1 cup grated cheese
1/2 cup currants (or any other dried fruit) or 1/2 cup raisins (or any other dried fruit)
4 egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2-1 cup broth (whatever most of the meat is)
1 dash cooking wine
9 inches pie shells (with lid)

Steps:

  • Broil the meat till very rare, but cooked through.
  • Cut it into small cubes.
  • Mix with all other ingredients except the pie shell.
  • For the broth, just add enough to make the mixture a little wetter.
  • Put the mixture into the pie shell.
  • Be sure the shell lid is sealed, and punch some holes in the top with a knife.
  • Bake at 350 F for 45 minutes to an hour, till the shell is golden brown.
  • Makes 6-8 slices, and can be served any temperature.
  • It's easiest to cut when cold.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, have all of your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and make the cooking process go more smoothly.
  • Use Fresh, Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your pie. Use fresh, organic vegetables and free-range chicken whenever possible.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make Sure the Pie Crust is Golden Brown: The pie crust should be golden brown and flaky. If it's too pale, it won't be as flavorful. If it's too dark, it will be burnt.
  • Let the Pie Cool Before Serving: Allow the pie to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the pie set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Medieval chicken pie is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its flaky crust, tender chicken, and savory filling, this pie is sure to please everyone at the table.
