Pie 'n' peas.

Midweek pies ey? I must be feeling decadent. Actually, I was feeling stressed, and there's nothing guaranteed to calm me down and chill me out more than a good stint in the kitchen.

I'd inexplicably ordered lots of mushrooms on Monday so had to use them up, so wild mushroom, leek and tarragon pies where order of the day. With runner beans. Yum.

I slowly and gently friend the leeks with garlic, and then the mushrooms in oil and butter, before adding the tarragon, marjoram, some stock, seasoning, english mustard and a little cornflour to thicken. That was spooned into pie tins and shop-bought puff pastry rolled then put in the top. I brushed them with beaten egg yolk for some nice oven-colouring fun.
