Pithivier Filling
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Filling
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the diced chicken and game bird meat, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the thyme, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Assemble the Pithivier
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Roll out one sheet of puff pastry on a floured surface. Place the cooled filling in the center of the pastry. Roll out the second pastry sheet and place it over the filling. Seal the edges by crimping them together. Cut a small hole in the center for steam to escape.

Prepare the Salad
While the pithivier is baking, prepare the lamb's lettuce salad. Rinse the lamb's lettuce and toss with a light vinaigrette of olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
