Instructions
Pie Pasty Prep
  1. Preheat the oven to 150 Degrees Celsius
  2. Place all pie pastry ingredients into a bowl and kneed with your hands, massaging and squeezing the ingredients until it forms a tight ball. You can also get this effect very quickly if you place all ingredients in a thermomix for 20 seconds on speed 4.
  3. Roll the dough flat so that it is approximately 1cm thick. Cut out sections of the dough to fill 4 mini pie pots (size 4cm width opening from the top) and press them into the bottom and side walls with your fingers. Make sure to leave enough dough to make the lids.
  4. With the remaining pastry and cut offs, roll out the dough again and cut out 4 lids.
  5. Place the bottoms of the pie crust pressed into the pie pots into the oven and cook for 15 - 20 minutes. Place the lids into the fridge for later.
Preparing the Filling
  1. Bring to boil the chicken breast in two cups of chicken stock.
  2. When chicken is cooked, remove the chicken and dice it up into small bite sized pieces for the pie.
  3. In a separate fry pan, saute the onion and garlic.
  4. Chop pumpkin and carrots to small bite sized pieces. Cut the heads from the broccolini and add them to the chicken stock in the pot along with the carrot and pumpkin pieces..
  5. Also add the onion and garlic along with the chicken to the chicken stock.
  6. Add all remaining chicken filling ingredients and bring to the boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer on a low heat for 45 minutes.
Putting it all together
  1. When all ingredients are cooked and ready, remove from the stoce and prepare the pie bottoms for filling.
  2. Evenly scoop the chicken pie filling into each pie pot crust filling.
  3. take the pie crust filling lids from the fridge and place them over the top of each pot. Pinch the sides of the pastry to connect the base of the pie with the pie tops. alternatively you can use a fork to do this.
  4. Spear the tops of the pie with a fork and place the pots on a tray in the oven. Cook for 20 minutes ( or until lightly golden brown) at 150 Degrees Celcius.
  5. Remove and let cool for ten minutes before serving.

Instructions
  1. Bring 2 litres of water to boil and place pigs trotters into the pot. Boil the trotters for a further 5 minutes and then remove the trotters from the pot whilst discarding the water. (this is to clean and prepare the trotters).
  2. Bring a new pot to boil with 3 litres of water with all 4 pigs trotters added (ensuring that they are completely covered).
  3. Add pepper, salt, onion, leaks and bay leaves and cook on a low heat with the lid on for 5 hours in total.
  4. By the 3rd Hour; add the chicken legs and bring to the boil and lower the heat again. Make sure to keep the meat covered by the broth and top up water if needed (but not too much - only enough to cover.
  5. Continue to cook with the lid slightly to the side to allow for some evaporation of the stock so that you can establish the right amount of broth for the perfect batch. Too much water will not allow the broth to solidify whilst too little can make it too hard.
  6. By the 4th Hour; add remaining vegetables (onion, garlic, carrot and leaks) except for the additional 3 garlic cloves and additional 2 carrots to be set aside and used later. Cook for the final hour. After an hour, the broth should appear thick and the meat tender and soft. Turn off the heat and remove from the stove.
  7. Strain all the meat cuts, trotters and vegetables from the stock through a sieve and set them aside (ensuring to catch the stock in a pyrex jug under the colander for later use).
  8. Return the stock to the stove with the two additional freshly sliced carrots and three large whole garlic cloves added and bring to a boil and then simmer until the carrots are cooked but not too soft.
  9. Whilst the carrots are cooking let the trotters and chicken legs cool. Once they are cool, remove any bones and unwanted parts from the pigs trotters and and set aside the pulled meat. Remove and throw away the bones and the cooked vegetable, peppercorns and bay leaf remains.
  10. After the carrots and garlic have been cooked in the stock, strain them from the stock (ensuring to catch the stock in a pyrex jug under the colander) and set them aside.
  11. Strain the broth again through a cheese cloth and set aside.
  12. Slice the cooked garlic cloves into slithers and add them to a deep glass dish with the sliced cooked carrots. You can improvise by adding a few fresh sliced shallots parsley or fennel sprigs at this stage.
  13. Chop the meat collected from the pigs trotters and chicken legs and add them to the glass dish on top of the carrots and garlic.
  14. Pour the reserved stock over the top to ensure that all the meat is covered.
  15. Place meat jelly into the fridge to set overnight.
