01-10 Chicken Pot Pie (2 ways)

After your sister was born in North Carolina, Kim brought a chicken pot pie for dinner.  It tasted SO good to me.  When I asked her for the recipe, she laughed and said it was super simple.  It is the quick recipe below.  Since I am "allergic" to cans, I made a variation - the 2nd recipe- and I think it tastes better.  But feel free to use the 1st anytime.  No judging.  haha  

 Chicken Pot Pie 2 ways


#1  Quick -prepared foods -original recipe:

2 frozen pie shells, thawed
Mix together:
1 lg can cooked chicken, drained
1 can Veg-All mixed veggies
1 can cream chicken soup
1 can cream of potato soup
1/2 c milk
Pour into 1 pie shell and invert second pie shell on top to create top crust
Bake at 350F 30-40 minutes until crust starts to brown

#2 Recipe Variation: tastes fresher for obvious reasons =)

make 2 pie shells:  homemade 
OR I like using puff pastry or phyllo dough to mix it up (it can be open topped also)
1 Roux - Melt 4 T butter and mix with 6 T flour
Stir in
1 c chicken broth
1 1/2 c milk
Add in
2 lg boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded or cubed
1 1/2 c fresh mixed veggies or a mixture of blanched veggies or frozen vegetables
(carrots, onions, peas, potato cubes, ...)
Sprinkle generously with salt, pepper, sage, rosemary & thyme

Mix all and pour into bottom crust
Place other crust on top (or use a layer of mashed potatoes, sprinkled with paprika)
Bake 350F for 30-40 minutes until crust/potatoes are golden

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

Swedish almond cake = nötkaka

How did I miss putting this recipe on here years ago?! There are several versions. The original here is from the Swedish classic Sju Sorters Kakor. For presentation it is baked in a special ribbed pan - widely available and not expensive - called a Swedish/Rehrucken/Almond cake loaf pan.  They are about 4.75 x 12.25 inches & 2 inches deep.  It also works in a similarly sized baking dish or cake round, you just won't have the ribbed design.  Prepare cake pan with a light coating of oil or oil spray, as you want to be able to invert it after baking to present it with the pattern. Sprinkle sliced almonds into the bottom of the pan before pouring the batter into it.  Recipe:  Beat together until light and fluffy = "vit och skummig":  2/3 c - 1 1/4 c unbleached cane sugar (depending on how sweet you want it) 1/2 c softened unsalted butter Beat in, one at a time:   1 egg & 2//3 c milk OR 2 eggs Combine the dry ingredients:  1 1/2 t almond e...
