Let's cook
Put 375 g plain flour, 150 g cold unsalted butter cutted into small pieces, 90 g cold water, a pinch of salt in the mixing bowl and knead 20 Sec. Speed 6. Wrap the dough in cling film and keep in the refrigerator for 15 Min.
Put in the mixing bowl 100 g leek cut into rings, 40 g extra virgin olive oil and cook 4 Min. Varoma Temp. Reverse Speed 1.
Add 200 g of thinly sliced champignon mushrooms with the vegetable slicer, 150 g thinly sliced potatoes, the needles of a sprig of rosemary and cook 5 Min. Varoma Temp. Reverse Soft Speed, adding 20 g of water from the hole in the lid after 2 Min.
Add 500 g skinned chicken thighs and cook 20 Min. 100C Reverse Soft Speed.
Take out the thighs, let them cool, bone them and put the meat back in the mixing bowl together with 50 g fresh cream, 2 sprigs of thyme, a sprinkling of nutmeg, a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper. Blend 7 Sec. Speed 5.
Roll out ⅔ of the shortcrust pastry into a sheet of about 3-4 mm thick and with a diameter of about 24 cm.
Butter and flour a pan with a diameter of 20 cm and lay the pastry inside making it adhere well to the bottom and edges. Pour the chicken mixture inside, leaving more in the central part to form a slight dome.
Roll out the remaining pastry, cut a 20 cm circle and cover the filling, folding the excess dough inside on the side edges. Roll out the leftover cutouts and, with a cookie cutter, make decorations for the surface of the cake.
Beat an egg in a small bowl with a tbsp whole milk, brush the cake and bake on the lowest shelf in a preheated oven 35 Min. 180C.
