I watch his Jamie and Julia series partly because he's better at unraveling Julia's instructions than I am and, mainly, because he's just plain a tall elf whirling about spreading joyous chaos.

    It's not a starch or flour problem. It's runny because the vegetables and chicken are extremely high in moisture. An alternate method is to "sweat" the veg separately in a pan to remove that moisture first, rather than boiling them. The chicken can be roasted to avoid the same issue. Even if your gravy is perfect (which it was), the water is drawn from the veg and chix, thus thinning it out. The standard ratio is 1 table spoon flour per cup of liquid and enough fat to make the roux work.

      I also saw a great live cooking demo once that transformed how I make anything with a roux. It was in London at a food expo from the restaurant employees of Jamie Oliver. (I live in NYC was visiting.). The cook was adding the liquid in small amounts to the roux and stirring in thoroughly each time. Instead of adding all liquid at once. Works so much better.

    The best way to thicken that sauce up would be to add a cornstarch slurry. I've found that once you have a flour/roux based sauce get thin, a cornstarch slurry is more effective than adding in more flour/roux. Regardless, the taste is the most important thing!

    • @ethelryan257
      @ethelryan257 Рік тому +24

      Yes, but if you have a slightly browned roux of flour and butter, it will add a depth which the cornstarch just doesn't bring. You're right about cornstarch fixing anything watery, though. Wonderful stuff!

    • @omegand.

    I usually use the Joy of Cooking recipe for pot pie which is similar, but has you make Chicken or Turkey Ala King which is a fancy way of saying chicken soup thickened with a roux. I usually cook it down until it's pie filling consistency. If you take another crack at this just cook the chicken soup down longer, like maybe 10 minutes. I always make enough dough to make a bottom crust as well because I grew up with frozen pot pies and those necessarily have a whole crust.

      Exactly! Yikes! A leek has not been washed until you cut it vertically (north/south, not east/west), separate the pieces, wash them well, and then lift them out of the wash water with a slotted spoon or loose-mesh spider, leaving the gritty sand in the bottom of the basin or down the drain. There is a lot of grit in a normal leek.

      I learned it like this in culinary school (where we produced potato leek soup for 120 people every second week in winter 🙄): remove the thick outer leaves, wash them separately and keep them to boil with the soup (but not to eat, they are too fibrous). split the leeks lengthwise with the root still attached. from the root to the tip, wash them under running water. the dirt will run right off. shake vigorously, pat dry, and proceed to cut. (if using vast quantities, like we did in school, you run them dry after cutting in a large lettuce spinner aparatus).

    I think we've all been there with the turkey baster with the pot pie or some sort of pie with extra juices trying to ruin the pastry (Hot water crust can be a real pain with leaking). I started using a giant horse syringe I got at the local feed supply store, it keeps the liquid in better. I also tend to let my filling cool completely, if not overnight, it gives the liquid a chance to thicken, and everything is cold for the pastry dough. If you decide you want to tackle it again, go with your gut. Your instincts were spot on, but you second guessed yourself because the cookbook said something different. I'd have also reused the chicken pot. There is still a lot of left over flavor that could have been absorbed into the roux and you wouldn't have that extra pot to clean. I'm always impressed that you never give up if something doesn't go quite right.

      I agree with this for almost every dry ingredient under the sun. There's no going back.
      However, the ONLY thing I tend to disagree with is wet ingredients (expect egg.) Because most wet ingredients are just, ya know, water. And water both maintains the temperature of whatever you are cooking, which is desirable, and will eventually boil off, which is how to avoid runniness.
      When I am making any sort of sauce or broth or stock, I will typically err on the side of caution and add more liquid than necessary to avoid burning (cause you really cannot undo THAT) and simply simmer it until it has the desired consistency. Then, if the resulting food is too weak, just add more of your dry ingredients to taste.
      In this case, Jamie could have simply allows his gravy to simmer longer and it would have thickened by simple evaporation. Emulsifiers and thickening agents would have worked too, but that starts having an effect on ratios.

    You are top notch and very good at teaching as you learn! I have a home cook tip for you on this recipe. Pour off at least half of the chicken/wine cooking liquid into a pot with those chicken bones before you thicken the gravy. That way you'll have less gravy in your pie & can make a great stock from the bones and cooking liquid. If you don't have enough gravy in your pie, add the heavy cream.

    Looks delicious! I envy your ability to make a pie crust. Even with my food processor I suck at it. (I suspect the larger chicken is to blame for the looser gravy. It required more liquid to cover it while it cooked, and would have also yielded more juices. In any case, it looked delicious.)

    If you want your gravy thicker you can use a cornstarch slurry. Use 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water. If that’s not enough, do it again. But be careful, it thickens quickly and too much and you’ll have chicken pot pudding. Which isn’t bad. 🤣 You probably already knew that but I thought I’d share. Love the channel!

    One way to get a crispier pastry is to let the filling cool down and firm up in the pie dish before placing the pastry on top. Then refrigerate the pie for ~30 minutes before baking.
    It was obvious that the filling was going to be too liquidy. Way too much wine!

  • @neilpickup237
    @neilpickup237 Рік тому +5

    White sauce is one of those items where it really is better to weigh the ingredients. It is also easy, since the weights of the flour and butter are the same.
    For a typical sauce, I would use 1 1/2 oz flour 1 1/2 oz butter to a UK pint. Obviously, the quantities can be scaled up or down as required, and the proportion of liquid adjusted depending on how thick (or thin) the sauce needs to be.
    What is important is to add the liquid slowly and ensure that it is incorporated fully before the next amount is added - I add it a quarter of a cup at a time until it is a liquid.
    You strained the lumps out, but really, that sludge should have been fully incorporated and thickening the sauce, the probable reason why it was way too thin (although it might have also needed cooking for longer before you added it to the filling).

    So I gotta ask: why do none of these pie recipes, even the imitable Julia, have a bottom crust? The pot pie I've come to love is entirely contained in pastry crust, and each slice is, well, like a slice of pie, enrobed in delicious flaky crust. Any insights?

    • @caroleberreur9585

      Probably because the French do not really use a whole encased pastry pie. Plus the sauce would make it too soggy probably. I live a good British pie, but it’s usually drier than its French cousin’s. 😊

      1. No soggy bottom to contend with. 2. No blind baking and sealing the pie crust. 3. Sometimes you just want the filling and not a lot of crust? I'm a dual crust fan myself, but if I am in a hurry, I tend to skip bottom crusts too (or the entire crust all together and use mashed potatoes like a cottage pie).

    Sir: You're too young to remember, but I was a young bride when the food processor and microwave oven hit stores affordably priced (well, kinda). Before that, I had a hand mixer, a mouli, and my hands. I remember Julia Child metaphorically clutching her pearls over these innovations. After all, she was a trained graduate of Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. She had a huge mortar and pestle that she used. I don't remember who or what convinced her that food processors weren't evil incarnate destroyers of fine cuisine, but she did end up using them--and loving the convenience.
