Mushroom caps

Ingredients

• 50 g Butter
• 1 piece Onion
• 100 g Mushrooms
• 40 g Plain Flour
• 1 piece Chicken Stock Cube
• 1 piece Nutmeg
• 1 piece Mustard Powder
• 250 g Chicken
• 2 piece Sweetcorn
• 2 g Potatoes
• 1 piece Butter

Steps

1. Heat air air fry at 200°CC/180C fan/gas 6. Put the butter in a medium-size saucepan and place over a medium heat. Add the onion and leave to cook for 5 mins, stirring occasionally. Add the mushrooms to the saucepan with the onions.
2. Once the onion and mushrooms are almost cooked, stir in the flour – this will make a thick paste called a roux. If you are using a stock cube, crumble the cube into the roux now and stir well. Put the roux over a low heat and stir continuously for 2 mins – this will cook the flour and stop the sauce from having a floury taste.
3. Take the roux off the heat. Slowly add the fresh stock, if using, or pour in 500ml water if you’ve used a stock cube, stirring all the time. Once all the liquid has been added, season with pepper, a pinch of nutmeg and mustard powder. Put the saucepan back onto a medium heat and slowly bring it to the boil, stirring all the time. Once the sauce has thickened, place on a very low heat. Add the cooked chicken and vegetables to the sauce and stir well. Grease a medium-size ovenproof pie dish with a little butter and pour in the chicken and mushroom filling.
4. Carefully lay the potatoes on top of the hot-pot filling, overlapping them slightly, almost like a pie top.
5. Brush the potatoes with a little melted butter and cook in the oven for about 35 mins. The hot-pot is ready once the potatoes are cooked and golden brown.
