Jerk Chicken and Mushroom Tart

 

On your Tarts!!

Apparentlyly, fairy Godmother granted the chicken pot pie a wish and she got to dress up; transformed into this tart, and went to the ball. That is what I think of when I look at this elegant looking tart. Phyllo/Filo dough can be so unforgiving at times and other times every wrinkle looks like a work of art.  I wanted to make a pie where imperfections become perfections. A traditional pie crust is sometimes not so forgiving, but phyllo/filo dough will do the trick.

“Pumpkin Everythang”

I am yet again reminded of how annoying it is to cook food for this blog in a kitchen other than my own. My sister begged me to make this recipe while I was in NY and not in Jamaica, so I obliged. Who doesn’t love a good pot pie? This one is not baked into a corn muffin like my last one, but is full of pumpkin goodness; the filling is much thicker than normal because I used an entire can of pumpkin puree in addition to fresh pumpkins. The curry, the chicken and all the veggies along with the crust makes for a lovely meal.

Leftovers are a gift from god. Apparently food fairies that live in our fridge sprinkle crack on our food overnight. Its no secret I often try to cook large portions on a Sunday to allow the fairies to work their magic on Monday’s lunch. So here I was one Sunday wanting to make some chicken pot pie, but as we all know there is nothing worse than reheated crust.
