Method


  1. Soak the dried mushrooms in hot water for 30 minutes.

  2. Heat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.

  3. Shred the meat from the chicken and finely chop.

  4. Finely slice the shallots or onion. Drain the dried mushrooms, trim off the stalks and finely slice. Trim and finely slice the fresh mushrooms if using.

  5. Heat the oil, and cook the shallots gently until soft. Sprinkle with the flour, and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes, then gradually add the chicken stock, stirring.

  8. Brush with egg yolk, cut a small slash in the top, and bake for 20 minutes or until golden.

  9. Serve with julienned mange tout on the side.
