Curried cauliflower soup
Cauli soup but not quite as you know it.

Served topped with dried onion flakes, coriander, chili and lime zest, it’s also a bit of a taste sensation.

Part 3/6:
Once cooked, reserve the cooking liquid and discard the vegetables, as they will lack flavor. Shred the chicken using the pressure cooker itself; simply shake the closed pot to shred the meat easily.
Making the Filling
In a separate pan, heat a generous amount of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is golden. Stir in the tomato paste, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Next, add the shredded chicken to the mixture, along with the diced tomatoes, diced bell pepper, drained corn, and olives. Pour in two cups of the reserved chicken cooking water to keep the mixture moist, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
Finish off the filling with cream cheese and chopped fresh parsley for that extra flavor.

Making the dough is quite simple. In a blender, combine the eggs, oil, milk, a pinch of salt, and grated Parmesan cheese. Blend for a couple of minutes until well mixed.
In a bowl, gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour, mixing well with a whisk or fork to ensure there are no lumps. Lastly, add baking powder and mix until combined.
Assembling the Pie
Grease a rectangular baking dish with butter and flour. Pour half of the dough into the bottom of the dish, spreading it evenly.
Spoon generous dollops of the creamy chicken filling over the dough, followed by additional dollops of cream cheese for extra creaminess.

Baking the Pie
Part 5/6:

If you're looking for a delicious and easy recipe to impress your family, look no further than this creamy chicken pie. In today’s cooking session, we'll take you through a wonderfully simple process, filled with tasty ingredients and comforting flavors.
Preparing the Filling
To kick things off, we need to prepare the chicken filling that will make this pie truly stand out.
Part 2/6:
Add Tomato Sauce and Spices: Mix in half a sachet of tomato sauce, a teaspoon of salt, and pepper to taste. This will add a rich flavor to the base of the filling.
Incorporate the Chicken: Next, you're going to add 500 grams of cooked, shredded chicken breast. For best results, use chicken that has been boiled with a bit of salt. Stir it all together.
Mix in Vegetables: To give your filling a fresh crunch, add nearly a cup each of fresh peas and corn, along with three tablespoons of creamy requeijão (a Brazilian cheese spread). Mix until everything is well combined.
Part 3/6:
Making the Dough
While the filling cools, it's time to whip up the dough for the pie.
Blending the Ingredients: In a blender (you can also mix by hand if preferred), combine three whole eggs, 150 ml of oil, a teaspoon of salt, and 300 ml of room temperature water.
Adding Flour: Gradually add in three cups (or 375 grams) of flour while blending. Once the mixture is smooth, add a tablespoon (or 15 grams) of baking powder. Blend just long enough to combine—don’t over-mix.
Assembling the Pie
Part 4/6:
With both the filling and dough ready, let’s assemble the pie.
Preparing the Pan: Use a lightly greased rectangular baking dish measuring approximately 24 cm wide by 34 cm long and 5 cm deep.
Layering the Ingredients: Start by pouring half of the batter into the bottom of the dish. Spread it out evenly.
Adding the Filling: Pour the chicken filling over the batter and smooth it out. If you'd like an extra creamy layer, you can spread a little more requeijão on top of the filling.
Finish With Dough: Pour the remaining batter over the filling to cover completely. Optionally, sprinkle some dehydrated parsley or oregano for a hint of flavor, along with some grated mozzarella if desired.
Baking the Pie
Part 5/6:
Before baking, make sure your oven is preheated to 180ºC (350ºF). Place the assembled pie in the oven for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

The Power of Music: An Exploration of Its Impact and Influence
Music is an omnipresent force in our lives that transcends language barriers, cultures, and geographical boundaries. From the first lullabies sung to an infant to the anthems of social movements, music accompanies us through our most profound experiences. It evokes emotions, preserves memories, and connects us to one another in building shared histories.
The Emotional Impact of Music
One of the most fascinating aspects of music lies in its ability to stir emotions. Research has shown that music can elicit feelings ranging from joy and elation to sadness and nostalgia. This emotional response is attributed to several factors, including melody, harmony, and rhythm, which together create a delightful tapestry of sound.
Part 2/6:
For instance, fast-tempo songs often inspire an uplifting state of mind, while slower, more melancholic pieces may provoke reflection and introspection. The emotional resonance of music can serve as a powerful therapeutic tool, providing solace during times of distress or enhancing moments of joy.
Cultural Significance
Music is deeply intertwined with culture; it serves as a reflection of societal values, norms, and experiences. Different cultures express their identities through unique music styles, instruments, and traditions. From African tribal rhythms to Western classical compositions, each musical form tells a story that encompasses the spirit of its people.
Part 3/6:
Moreover, music has historically played a role in social movements, acting as an anthem for change and resistance. Songs encapsulate the hopes and struggles of communities, often serving as a rallying cry that unifies individuals towards a common cause or ideal.
Connecting Communities
The communal aspect of music is another vital element of its influence. Concerts and musical gatherings bring people together, creating a shared experience that fosters bonds and a sense of belonging. Whether it's a local band playing at a café or a massive music festival, these events enable interactions that transcend social, economic, and cultural divides.
Part 4/6:
Participating in music—whether through performance or celebration—can foster a sense of inclusion and collective identity. This sense of community is particularly significant in times of crisis, where music can provide comfort and connection among those affected.
The Evolution of Music
As technology advances, the way we create, consume, and share music is consistently evolving. From the invention of the phonograph to the advent of streaming services, each innovation has transformed the landscape of the music industry. Today, artists can produce and distribute their music independently, reaching global audiences without the need for traditional record labels.
Part 5/6:
This democratization of music creation enriches the auditory tapestry by allowing a diverse range of voices and perspectives to flourish. However, it also presents challenges such as oversaturation and the difficulty of a single artist standing out in a crowded market.
Conclusion
The significance of music in our lives is profound and multifaceted. It weaves together the emotional, cultural, and social narratives that define human experience. Whether it serves as a balm for hardship, a catalyst for change, or a joyful celebration of life, music remains an integral part of our shared humanity.
Part 6/6:
The next time you listen to a song, take a moment to appreciate not only the melody but the rich tapestry of history, emotion, and connection that it represents. Music embodies the essence of what it means to be alive—an exploration of the human spirit in all its complexities.

An Irresistible Chicken Pie Recipe to Try This Weekend
Cooking can often feel like a chore, but there’s nothing quite as comforting as preparing a delicious homemade meal that the whole family will love. In today's video, I’ll walk you through a remarkable chicken pie recipe that not only tantalizes the taste buds but is also incredibly easy to make using a blender. This recipe will be your new go-to for lunch, dinner, or even a cozy weekend snack.
Getting Started with the Chicken Filling
Part 2/8:
The heart of this pie lies in the beautifully seasoned chicken filling. The recipe kicks off by heating a pan with a tablespoon of butter and a drizzle of olive oil to prevent the butter from burning. Add diced onions and let them sauté until they turn golden. Then, it's time to introduce minced garlic — a cornerstone of flavor in any savory dish.
Part 3/8:
Once the onions and garlic are nicely golden, you can add the cooked and diced chicken breast. For this recipe, 800 grams of chicken breast is boiled in seasoned water — think salt, black pepper, and a hint of smoked paprika for that lovely color and taste. The goal is to ensure that the chicken is not only tender but also well-seasoned. Adjust the seasonings as per your preference; feel free to add oregano and more smoked paprika for a robust flavor profile.
Part 4/8:
Next up, chop a tomato (seedless to avoid excess moisture) and toss it into the mixture, followed by half a cup of chopped olives. This combination complements the chicken perfectly, giving it a special zing. Consider diversifying the filling: if olives aren’t to your liking, substitute them with peas, corn, or even shredded carrots for a delightful twist.
Finally, sprinkle some chopped parsley and green onions for freshness and color. Once everything is combined, your savory filling is ready to go; just let it cool while you prepare the batter.
Whipping Up the Crust
Part 5/8:
With a delicious filling set aside, it’s time to whip up the pie crust in your blender. Start with three whole eggs and give them a quick blend. Add in 300 ml of whole milk, one box of cream, half a cup of oil, and a tablespoon of butter or margarine. A pinch of salt rounds out the batter — a cafe full of flavor can make all the difference.
Blend everything until smooth, then move onto the dry ingredients. Sift together one and a half cups of all-purpose flour and half a cup of corn starch. This corn starch is a unique tip that makes the crust lighter and fluffier. Combine the wet and dry ingredients in your bowl.
Part 6/8:
Don’t forget one crucial ingredient: a heap of baking powder to help the batter rise beautifully as it bakes. Finally, give the batter a good mix until it resembles a creamy consistency full of air bubbles — this ensures a fluffy texture.
Assembling Your Pie
Now for the fun part: assembling your pie! Grease your ceramic or aluminum baking dish. Start by spreading half of the batter at the bottom. Evenly distribute your chicken filling over this base, followed by pouring the remaining batter on top to seal everything in.
For an added touch, you can sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese or oregano over the top before it enters the oven. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius, and bake for approximately 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is beautifully golden brown.
Part 7/8:
Enjoying the Results
As your chicken pie bakes, a tantalizing aroma fills your kitchen—making it impossible to resist. Once it’s out of the oven, the pie should have a delightful golden crust, reminiscent of a cake with its airy texture and numerous tiny air bubbles.
This chicken pie is not just a feast for the eyes but also melts in your mouth! If you want to switch things up, try other fillings like ground beef, ham and cheese, or even a variety of vegetables for a delightful vegetarian option.
Conclusion
Part 8/8:
This chicken pie recipe is a wonderful addition to your cooking repertoire. Its simplicity, combined with exquisite flavors, makes it suitable for any occasion—be it brunch, lunch, or a light dinner. Don't be shy; try it at home, and I guarantee it will quickly become a family favorite!

A Delicious Chicken Savory Pie Recipe
Today, I'm excited to share a fantastic savory pie recipe that is sure to impress everyone. The crust is incredibly quick to make, and I’ve prepared a delicious chicken filling that will leave your guests wanting more. Let's dive right into this mouthwatering recipe!
Preparing the Chicken Filling
To start, I bought 5.5 kg of chicken, which I cooked in a pressure cooker with 1 liter of water for about 40 minutes. Once cooked, the chicken is so tender that it practically falls apart. I transfer it to a bowl for shredding. You can use your hands, a fork, or even a mixer to shred the chicken quickly.
Part 2/6:
Next, it's time to season the shredded chicken. In a pan, I add two tablespoons of olive oil (you can substitute with oil or lard) and half a cup of finely chopped onion. Heat it up until the onion is golden. Then, add a tablespoon of grated garlic and sauté until fragrant.
When the bottom of the pan begins to brown, it's time to add the shredded chicken along with half a tablespoon of salt, a pinch of pepper, and half a tablespoon of oregano. To enhance the flavor, I incorporate 300g of ready-made tomato sauce (homemade sauce works great too), or if you prefer, diced tomatoes can be used as well.
Part 3/6:
For added color and flavor, I add a spoonful of quality annatto seasoning (colorau), gifted from a friend, which brings a wonderful hue to the filling. After mixing well, I toss in a selection of vegetables, which could include anything you have on hand, and finish with a quarter cup of chopped parsley. Now, our filling is ready!
Making the Savory Pie Crust
While the filling cools, let’s prepare the pie crust. In a large bowl, I beat five large eggs for about a minute. Next, I mix in one and a half cups of oil (you can use melted butter or margarine instead) and blend again.
Part 4/6:
Now it’s time to add two and a half cups of milk (or water, if you prefer). Since I like to reserve milk for other meals, I often use water, and it doesn’t affect the final product. Gradually mix in three and a half cups of flour, ensuring it blends smoothly.
To make the crust extra delicious, I add 50g of grated Parmesan cheese and two tablespoons of baking powder. A brief mixing, and the batter is ready!
Assembling the Pie
Now, let’s put everything together. I pour half of the batter into a greased rectangular baking dish (34cm x 23cm). The chicken filling, with its vibrant color and aromas, is layered on top, followed by a generous amount of creamy requeijão to provide a luscious texture.
Part 5/6:
Once the filling is in place, I cover it with the remaining batter. You can sprinkle some Parmesan over the top for an extra cheesy finish.
Baking the Pie
I preheat the oven to 180ºC (170ºC for electric ovens) and place the pie in the lower part of the oven to bake for about one hour. The aroma wafting through the kitchen is simply irresistible!
To check if the pie is done, I insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean but slightly moist — that’s the juicy filling you want!
Enjoying the Pie
Once out of the oven, the pie looks splendid and is ready to be served. Whether enjoyed warm or at room temperature, this savory pie is delicious any time of day. I always feel elated when sharing recipes that bring happiness to friends and family.
Part 6/6:
This pie’s flaky, flavorful crust along with the seasoned chicken filling and creamy cheese makes it a must-try! Feel free to experiment with different fillings based on your preferences, whether it be vegetables, sardines, or ham and cheese.
Make sure to add this recipe to your cooking list; it’s simply irresistible. Enjoy every bite, and happy cooking!

Delicious Chicken Pie with Cream Cheese
If you’re looking for a delightful and easy recipe for chicken pie, you’re in the right place. This chicken pie with cream cheese can be made quickly using a blender, making it a no-fuss dish everyone will love. It’s perfect for using up leftovers or simply satisfying your cravings—let's dive in!
Preparing the Chicken Filling
To start with, you will need shredded chicken as the main filling ingredient. If you don’t know how to prepare shredded chicken, there is a detailed tutorial available in the video description.
Cooking the Base
Part 2/6:
First, preheat your pan and add a drizzle of olive oil. The chicken filling can be versatile and is not limited to just the pie; it can be used for crepes or various other dishes. For our filling, start by sautéing around four cloves of garlic in the hot oil, or you can opt for diced onion instead if you prefer.
Once the garlic is golden, add a large chopped onion and sauté for about three minutes until it becomes translucent.
Adding the Vegetables
Next, incorporate about one cup of diced ripe tomatoes alongside a tablespoon of concentrated tomato paste for added color and flavor. If you don’t have tomato paste, you can use food coloring or leave it out entirely, although it would slightly alter the appearance of the dish. Season with salt—approximately a teaspoon should suffice.
Part 3/6:
After that, add a teaspoon of oregano, smoke paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes for some heat (optional for kids). After mixing, you should notice a delightful aroma!
Introducing the Chicken and Corn
With our base cooked down, add about 500 grams of shredded chicken into the mix. For extra flavor, add a can of corn, or substitute with peas or olives as per your preference. Mix everything well and then create a creamy texture by adding a tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in water. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes, ensuring the consistency is creamy and not too dry or watery.
Final Touches
Part 4/6:
Don’t forget to throw in some chopped parsley for that vibrant flavor and aroma. Taste it to adjust the seasoning before moving on to the next step—this filling can be enjoyed on its own!
Making the Pie Crust
Blending the Ingredients
The pie crust is simple and quick to prepare. Using a blender, combine three eggs, three-quarters of a cup of oil, and one and a half cups of milk. Then, blend these ingredients together before adding two cups of all-purpose flour. Don’t forget to add a tablespoon of baking powder for that perfect rise in the oven. Mix them until you have a smooth batter.
Assembling the Pie
Now it’s time to assemble the chicken pie. In a greased baking dish (around 33 by 23 cm), pour in half of the batter, followed by the chicken filling.
Part 5/6:
Then, add 400 grams of cream cheese or a firm cream cheese substitute on top of the filling. It’s recommended not to mix the cheese into the chicken filling but to layer them separately for texture.
Finally, pour the remaining batter on top, ensuring everything is well covered.
Baking to Perfection
Preheat your oven to a temperature between 180° to 200°C (around 356° to 392°F). Bake the pie for approximately 40 minutes to an hour, keeping an eye out to avoid over-baking as it could lead to a soggy center.
The Final Product
Once baked, allow your pie to cool slightly before cutting into it to maintain its structure. The golden crust should be perfectly set, and you will see the delightful layers of chicken and cream cheese.
Conclusion
Part 6/6:
This chicken pie is not just easy to make but also full of flavor, making it a perfect dish for family dinners or gatherings. Emphasizing flexibility, you can always play with the fillings based on your preferences. Whether you choose to make it a vegetarian version or simply swap out ingredients, this pie is destined to be a crowd-pleaser.
