Creamy Seafood Pot Pie
Pot pies are usually full meals in themselves. If you want to serve an accompaniment, think seasonal: a tangy citrus vinaigrette pairs well with a salad of bitter greens (such as curly or Belgian endive) and applewood smoked bacon, or drizzled over a composed salad of hearts of romaine or hearts of palm, grapefruit sections, and avocado slices.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup butter
1 sweet potato, cubed (about 2 1/2 cups)
2 small leeks, white parts with 1 inch of green, chopped
1 cup chopped celery
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups milk
1 1/2 pounds cod or halibut fillet, cut into 2-inch cubes
1 1/2 cups halved green beans or haricots verts, blanched
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 (17.3-ounce) package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon water
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 400°. Melt butter over medium-high heat in a large Dutch oven. Sauté potato, leeks, and celery for 10 minutes. Add thyme and garlic; cook 1 minute. Sprinkle flour over vegetables, and cook, stirring constantly, 3 minutes. Whisk in milk; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer 2 to 3 minutes or until potato is almost tender. Add cod and next 3 ingredients; return mixture to a simmer. Remove from heat. (Fish will be undercooked.) Ladle filling into 4 to 6 individual ovenproof soup crocks.
2. Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Cut pastry into circles, cutting the circles 1 inch larger than the mouth of the soup crocks. Whisk together egg yolk and 1 tablespoon water; brush underside of pastry edges with egg wash (see glossary, page 140) and place over crock, pressing edges to seal. Brush tops with egg wash. Place crocks on baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 14 to 16 minutes or until pastry is golden brown.
