A pithivier is a traditional French dish hailing from the town of Pithivier in the Orléans region of France which dates back to the 17th century. Originally pithiviers were made with sweet fillings, namely frangipane, but are now more commonly savoury. This how-to guide shows you how to make our Pithivier of chicken, squash and sage recipe.
Here we have used squash, chicken and sage but there are many different combinations you could try. Colin McGurran makes an Ox cheek pithivier and Andy McLeish uses pigeon leg in his Roast wood pigeon with pithivier, creamed curly kale and roast Jerusalem artichokes.
