Turkish Chicken Pie (Talas Boregi)


Nowadays,I want to cook more pastry recipes.I was looking for a traditional Turkish pastry recipe and found one in klasiktatlar .It is similar to English pie but has more delicious.Originally the filling is made from lamb meat but I used here chicken,easy to cook.


Ingredients:

1 pack puff pastry (ready to roll up)

For filling:
2 chicken thighs
half onion chopped coarsely
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
water
one handful of parsley
1 big tomato
3 tbsp olive oil
1 egg yolk beaten

Cut the chicken thighs and separate bones.Wash them and put in the pan.Add one cup of water.Cook it until the water is finished.Set it aside.Heat a pan.Add 3 tablespoon olive oil.Add and tomato and stir them together for 2 Min's.Add salt and black pepper.Add the chicken pieces and stir them together for 1 min.Add 1 1/2 cup of water and leave it to boil until chicken is very soft.Turn heat off.Take chicken pieces into a dish.Mix it with chopped parsley.Filling is ready (Keep the chicken stock to serve later).

Preheat the oven 200 C.Oil the oven tray.Take the pastry and cut into 4.Put a tablespoon of filling on the pastry and seal it like an envelope.Turn it over and put on the tray.Repeat it for other pieces.Brush egg yolk on the pastry and sprinkle some black sesame.Put the tray in the oven and bake it for 25 Min's.
when it is cooked ,take it to the dish and serve with warm chicken stock.Enjoy it.
