Here is the recipe for a simple curry sauce<\/strong> that you can use as a base for pot-pie or soup.\u00c2\u00a0 Make the sauce in a frying pan over low to medium heat.\u00c2\u00a0 Start with a pint of chicken stock or chicken gravy, or even plain water.\u00c2\u00a0 Thicken* the liquid with one-fourth cup flour.\u00c2\u00a0 Stir in two chicken bouillon cubes and one of vegetable “bouillon.” <\/strong>Add one teaspoon sugar and two teaspoons each of Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice.\u00c2\u00a0 Add one teaspoon of yellow curry powder.\u00c2\u00a0 Season further with salt and pepper, and add bay leaf and a sprinkle of sage, rosemary or thyme if you like.<\/p>\n

To make pot-pie,<\/strong> place a layer of cooked, boned chicken in the bottom of a round baking dish.\u00c2\u00a0 Add a layer of halved, raw Brussels sprouts, followed by a layer of raw carrot chunks <\/strong>(each about 1\/2 inch long). <\/strong>Over this, pour some of the sauce, with any bay leaf removed. It is important not to use too much sauce, because you do not want the pie crust resting in it.\u00c2\u00a0 Use just enough so that the carrots are not quite covered.\u00c2\u00a0 Leftover sauce can be thinned and used in soup.\u00c2\u00a0 Top the pie with short-crust pastry,** seal the edges, cut vents in the center, and brush with beaten egg.\u00c2\u00a0 Bake the pot-pie at\u00c2\u00a0 375 degrees until the crust is golden, about one hour.\u00c2\u00a0 (About four servings.)<\/p>\n

To make chicken curry soup, <\/strong>start with about a pint of sauce, with any bay leaf removed, and thin it to the consistency of a hearty soup.\u00c2\u00a0 Stir it constantly as you heat it.\u00c2\u00a0 Add pre-cooked vegetables such as\u00c2\u00a0 carrot chunks and halved Brussels sprouts.\u00c2\u00a0 Last, add bite-size chunks of cooked chicken and a generous amount of medium-dice celery.\u00c2\u00a0 As you serve the soup, sprinkle some raisins over each portion.<\/p>\n

*If you are not sure how to avoid creating lumps of flour in your sauce, check an online cooking source for the techniques of thickening sauces and gravies.<\/p>\n

**To make the pastry, stir together one cup plus two tablespoons of pre-sifted all-purpose flour and one-half teaspoon salt.\u00c2\u00a0 Cut in one-half cup shortening.\u00c2\u00a0 Add enough cold water to make the dough manageable (not more than two tablespoons.)\u00c2\u00a0 Cover the dough and allow it to rest for 10 minutes at room temperature before rolling it out.\u00c2\u00a0 Roll it out and then fit it over the top of the filling.\u00c2\u00a0 (Make tart shells with any leftover pastry.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
