So I went back and revisited my pot pie mixture. I found out that, this mixture improves with a couple days set/rest ( rather than serve day of ). I also think you need to let the bread soak up some of the sauce. I reheated my pot pie mixture, cooked my puff pastry, put both together and baked slightly !! Much better I think I like the idea of making the PP mixture ahead a day or two and then assemble to make. Paul

robirdstx-- Love crispy herb stuff!! ScottyBoy-- It's dangerous to open this at 12am when you're hungry... or for me 6 AM. ( oh the Crab looks Fab ) Kim Shook-- Nice avaserfi-- Beautiful dish!!

So I went with the " cooking for engineers " recipe!! I prepped all the veggie ahead of time, trying to infuse flavor as I went, the mushrooms and pearl onions were cooked in butter and finished with Worcester sauce , carrots were slightly sweetened, chicken thighs were sous vide with thyme, bay, garlic, peppercorns.. shredded. Home-made turkey stock ( its what I had ). So I put it all together, and topped with the puff pastry!! I was missing a roasted caramelized flavor thou?
