How to prepare a chicken and vegetable pie in pumpkin puree dough?

For the basis of trafficking

  1. Let’s start with the base of the cake. For this, we will focus on the pumpkin, which we will have to peel, rinse and cut into small cubes. Then we will place them on a previously oiled tray, cover it with aluminum foil and put it in the oven for 5 minutes at 180 degrees. Observe the squash carefully, and when they appear somewhat tender, turn the sides of the cubes to ensure even cooking.
  2. When the pumpkins have cooked, remove them from the oven and place them in a concave container. In this place and with the help of a spoon or fork, you must proceed to crush the cubes, in order to achieve a homogeneous puree.
  3. Once the puree is ready, you must prepare the tray where you will make the cake with oil. There you will need to pour the puree and then, with the help of a spoon, you will need to spread it along the surface and on the walls of the container evenly. This pumpkin base will be the substitute for flour in our chicken and vegetable pie.

For the filling

  1. Let’s start the filling of our chicken and vegetable pie by cooking the spinach. To do this, in a pot with water and salt we add the spinach sheet where, after 5 to 10 minutes, we will take them out and drain the excess water.
  2. Then, in a minimally matching frying pan, sauté the bell pepper and onion in oil. Then add the green onion, leek and spinach that must previously be finely chopped and season to taste.
  3. When the vegetables in the pan are cooked, we proceed to add the chicken, which must be chopped into cubes. Mix thoroughly so that the flavor of the sauce penetrates the chicken and acquires its flavor.
  4. After approximately 20 minutes, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest in an airy place. While this happens, in a container we will add the eggs, cream cheese and a little salt to taste. After having mixed this, we pour the result into the pan containing the sofrito and the chicken, and finish mixing.
  5. When we have the filling ready, we will only need to pour it into the tray where we have our pumpkin layer and put it in the oven at 180 degrees for 25 minutes. After that time you should remove the tray and add some strips of mozzarella cheese to its surface. It will only take a few more minutes in the oven for the cheese to melt, and your chicken and vegetable pie in pumpkin puree dough will be ready.
