Method

Wash the leeks very well to ensure they are clean of dirt or grit,chop them finely and set aside,peel and slice the carrots.mushroom,onion and chicken fillets.

In a large frypan melt the butter and add the onion and carrot,cook till tender,add the leeks and chicken fillets ,reduce heat and cook till the leeks are tender,add the flour and cook 2 minutes then add the cream and reduce,make sure the cream does not boil or it will seperate,set aside .

Place the cooked ingredients in a large pie dish and cover with puff pastry,trim the edges neatly and

use any scraps of pastry to make decorations for the top,make two holes in the pastry top to ensure steam can escape ,brush the to with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Bake in a hot (180c) oven 30 mins or until puffed and golden.

I like to serve this with parsnip mash and beans but you can of course serve it any way you wish,it goes well with a light sauvignon blanc.
