Ingredients
Weight:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup butter (or margarine), cold and diced
- 1/4 cup ice water (approximately).
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
Filling:
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 2 chicken breasts, cooked and frayed (or 2 cups shredded chicken)
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 1/2 cup of corn (can be frozen or canned)
- 1/2 cup green peas (can be frozen or canned)
- 1 medium tomato, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup green or black olives, sliced
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (or milk)
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 teaspoon paprika or paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (optional)
Cover:
- 1 egg yolk, beaten (for brushing dough)
Instructions
Weight:
- Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the salt. Add the cold butter and mix it in with your fingertips until it forms a farofa (manioc flour) thick. If you prefer, you can use a food processor for this step.
- Add in the egg, and in the water: Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the egg and cold water. Mix together until it forms a homogeneous mass. If necessary, add more water, a tablespoon at a time until the dough come together. Do not handle too much weight.
- Rest the dough: Form a ball with the dough, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Filling:
- Many of the spices and seasonings: Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté over medium heat until they are soft and translucent.
- Add the chicken, and veggies: Add the shredded chicken, carrots, corn, peas, tomatoes, and black olives. Cook for a few more minutes, stirring from time to time.
- Season and finish the filling: Add paprika or paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. Make the cream and, if desired, grated parmesan cheese. Cook, covered, for another 5 minutes, until the filling is well mixed and smooth. Finish with the parsley, if you're not using it. Let the stuffing cool down.
Assembly:
- Preheat in the oven: Pre-heat the oven to 356 °F
- Open the dough: Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide it in to two parts, one for the background and one for the cover. Open up a larger portion of the dough on a surface lightly floured work together until it's the size of a way that you are going to wear.
- Fill in the form: Line the bottom and sides of a pie pan with the dough to open up. Make sure that the ground covers all edges of the form.
- To add to the filling: Insert for the filling of chicken on the way to spread the batter, spreading it evenly.
- Cover the pie crust: Open up a smaller portion of dough and place over filling. Can you make a drawing of the ground, or to create straps for a cover-type lattice. If you like, brush it with egg yolk to a golden brown and shiny.
- To bake: Bake them in the oven and bake for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and serve Allow the cake to cool a little before slicing. Serve it warm, or at room temperature.
