Directions
Blackbird Pie or Chicken, Leek and Potato Pie!, Yes, it’s an old-fashioned Blackbird pie! This is made with leftovers & tasted so good that I decided to post the recipe or is it an assembly job? Very easy, I am almost embarrassed to say that I made it with ready-made pastry Well, it was after all a quick lunch with an assault on the fridge! This is what I found, mashed potato, cooked leeks & some cooked chicken breasts There was an open packet of ham, and that completed the pie The only vital item is a blackbird pie funnel, oh yes & some ready-made pastry & leftovers , This was a really lovely, homey recipe I love leeks but only used them in leek and potato soup so happy to have another leek recipe Thanks!, lovely recipe, really recommend it
