Leek And Sausage Pie Recipe
Ingredients
9 leeks
2 cups chicken stock
6 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream
Freshly grated horseradish to taste
1 nine-inch pie shell, baked
1/2 pound pork sausages, fully cooked and drained
1 eight-inch round of pastry, baked
Directions
1. Trim the roots and green leaves from the leeks. Split lengthwise, wash carefully and cut into julienne strips.
2. Cook the leeks in the chicken stock until just tender but not mushy, about fifteen minutes. Drain and reserve the liquid.
3. Melt the butter, blend in the flour, salt and pepper. Add two cups of the reserved liquid slowly, while stirring. Bring to a boil, cover, and then cook over hot water, stirring occasionally, for thirty minutes.
4. Preheat the oven to moderate (375° F.).
5. Add the heavy cream and leeks to the sauce and reheat. Season with horseradish to taste and place in the baked pie shell.
6. Arrange the sausages like spokes of a wheel over the sauce mixture and place the pastry round on top.
7. Reheat the pie in the oven for ten minutes.
