Serves: Makes 4 small pies
Ingredients
Sauce Ingredients:
  • 1-2 Jalapenos, stems cut off
  • 150 gm or 2 small mild green peppers, like cubanelle
  • 150 gm or 1 medium tomato
  • 2 large garlic cloves
Pie Ingredients:
  • 200 gms cooked and finely chopped or shredded chicken (I used leftover roasted chicken)
  • 150 gm or 2 small mild green chiles (like cubanelle), finely diced
  • ½ tsp sea salt, adjust to taste
  • pinch ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • corn-oat flour pie crust from recipe above
  • 4 tart molds sized 5 in or 12 cm each
Instructions
Sauce Instructions:
  1. Remove the stems from the jalapeno(s) and green chiles. Place all ingredients into a pot of water, simmer until everything is soft. Drain and allow to cool enough to handle. Peel the tomato and place all ingredients into a blender. Blend into a smooth salsa.
Pie Instructions:
  1. Make sure you have made the pie crust and have pressed it into the moulds before proceeding. Heat the oil and sauté the chiles until soft, add the chicken, salt, black pepper and sauce and simmer for about 5-8 minutes. Taste and adjust the salt if desired, remove from heat and set aside. While the filling is cooling heat oven to 210C, and butter the tart moulds. Press the dough onto the tart molds, fill with chicken mixture, cover with top dough layer, cut a small x in center of each tart. If you'd like you may brush with egg-wash, but it isn't necessary. Place in center of oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the pie crust feels crisp and firm and baked through. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve with a side of refried beans or salad if desired.
Notes
- Make sure you make the pie dough first, whether using my corn-oat flour recipe or your own.
- These go excellent with Mexican green beans, refried beans or side salad.
