Sunset at bushy park...

This morning was a steady rush to get mum off to the air port for her New Year's Eve gig in Russia. We made it to the air port but it was really windy and cold and wet... basically standard English weather...
So mum muscled on into the rain 'n' that and got to the airport safely... So we (dad, gulli and I) headed off to sainsburys to do e weekly shopping trip, but I had plans to make pie for my din-dins so we collected the necessary ingredients or the pie!
Unfortunately since I never plan, take advice or listen to anyone I managed to get the wrong pastry.
I am so clever :D
It did work O.K. Though in the end.

Here is the stuff u need if anyone cares...

THE PIE OF DOOM. handy for an after Christmas feast when you have loads of left over Turkey, potatoes, broccoli and what ever...

2 large chicken breasts/ turkey
50g of penny mushrooms
One broccoli ( like the entire thing)
4-5 new potatoes
A few leaves of basil
50ml of boiling water
120g of bisto chicken gravy granules
500 - 700g of puff pastry (depending on size of pie)
And a pie dish preferably rectangular and Judge the size of the tin on the size that your ingredient appear as...

First pre-heat the oven to 210 degrees on fan setting.

Prepare the potatoes & broccoli i.e. for potatoes chop into cubes and slice broccoli as if normally preparing to boil it, place in a pan of boiling water set timer for 2 mins when this timer has gone off fork out the broccoli leaves and leave potatoes and stalks in for another 4mins.
Meanwhile prepare the chicken,
Slice chicken into even segments and fry in a pan with garlic and olive oil for ruffly 5mins. When you have cooked all the ingredients place them in a large mixing bowl add the mushrooms no need to chop unless they are quite large in which case chop them in half or smaller its up to you, then prepare you gravy,
make sure that your gravy is extra extra thick for the broccoli and potatoes both produce liquid when heated. Then simply add the gravy to the mixture stir and leave to absorb the juices while you roll their pastry.

Roll the pastry so it is approx 3mm thick and then drape it into your tin if this does not work simply cut out shapes to fit the tin and then layer it on. Put the pastry in the oven to crisp before taking it out and adding the mixture to the tin. Sprinkle so chopped basil on the the still open pastry dish, then place the top of the pie on the top of the dish slice away any overlapping pieces of pastry and place I. The oven for 30 to 40 mins or until brown on top.
