A French pastry classic is updated for a new generation with charred carrot, garlic shoots and goat’s curd.
With origins dating back to the 17th century in the French town of Pithiviers, this golden pie has long been a winter crowd-pleaser. Recently in Sydney, Lode Pies has made the radial-topped pie a hit with a rich chicken edition; while Meatsmith in Melbourne crafts an Aylesbury duck and foie gras version, wrapped in butter puff pastry. Here, we’ve opted for a vegetarian take, pairing charred carrots and garlic shoots with goat’s curd for a modern meat-free option.
