Continental pie with chicken, rice and village leaf kneaded with olive oil
The traditional pies with leaf remind us of our childhood, the food of the grandmother, of the family.
Continental chicken pie is a traditional recipe with many variations and tradition wants us to make it on New Year's Eve, but nowadays you will find it at every festive table.
Do not be afraid to open the leaves because they are thick and open easily, they do not have to be perfect as they go under the filling.
MATERIALS
Sheet materials:
5 cups flour for all uses
½ cup olive oil
2 spoons vinegar
1 spoon salt
For the filling:
1 free range chicken cut into 8 portions.
3 spoons Olive oil plus extra for lubricating the pan and the leaves
4 chopped dried onions
3 coarsely chopped carrots
2/3 cup Carolina rice
1 bay leaf
Sea salt, preferably
Freshly ground pepper, preferably
IMPLEMENTATION
In a saucepan, boil the chicken together with the 2 onions, bay leaf, salt, pepper and carrots for about an hour. Let cool in its broth. Strain, discard the bay leaf and carrots and keep the broth. If we want, we peel the chicken or otherwise we do it after boiling. To make the village leaf, put the flour and salt in a bowl. Slowly add the water, vinegar and oil, knead until a ball of dough becomes soft, pliable and uniform.
Divide it into 2 balls, cover and leave it to rest until the chicken boils. Open the leaves with a rolling pin and calculate that each sex protrudes about a palm from the walls of the pan and in contrast to other pies to be a little thick. Place the first sheet in an oiled pan, grease and add the second.
Preheat the oven to 180 ° C. In a saucepan, sauté the onion together with the oil for about 5 minutes and add 2 and ½ cups of the broth we kept. When it boils, add salt and pepper and add the rice and let it boil. In the pan with the layered leaves, place the boiled chicken around the edges of the pan and add the rice with the broth.
Fold and turn the leaves that protrude from the pan into a roll so that they cover the chicken and do not burn us. Bake for about an hour until the leaf turns brown and the rice absorbs all the liquid.
