Deep and crisp and even: a lovely Christmassy chicken, leek and prune pie, and a sweet potato and spinach tart
A pie, or perhaps a large golden tart, brought proudly to the table in its dish, always feels like a celebration. I find such recipes invaluable at this time of year, for meals that need something “festive-but-not-turkey”. So it’s straight down to business with a chicken and prune pie wrapped in crackling filo and a sweet potato and spinach tart that works as both a principal dish and on the side.
