Pie weather has begun. Chicken and mushroom pot pies. Actually, truth be told, they were mushroom and chicken.
Thanks also to those balmy, late summer nights, the garden gave us a bunch of brilliantly delicious amakhowe mushrooms.
Usually, and in winter, when we have a chicken roast, I make gravy. When we did this chicken on the Weber, it was still summer. In a matter of days, she was rudely blasted away.
I still had two relatively large ones so I decided to make a mushroom and onion bechamel base for the leftover chicken filling. With some white wine for good measure.
For the side, a simple warm courgette and capsicum salad: lightly sautéed in olive oil and dressed with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Comfort food. On a Tuesday on a Monday.

If this post might seem familiar, it's because I'm doing two things:
- re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I am adding them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
- and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.
- From Wordpress, I use the Exxp Wordpress plugin. If this rocks your socks, click here or on on the image below to sign up.
