We like Pie

A great big vegetable pie

I hope everyone had a lovely festive season. After the parties and gatherings and potlucks and snacking we were left with some root vegetables and a portion of puff pastry to use up. We like pie, so we made one.

This pie is ultimate simplicity. Line a loose bottomed cake tin with pastry, fill it with vegetables, I used raw cubed swede, potatoes, onions, celery and a handful of green soy beans. Season with salt and pepper and put on a nice pastry lid. The real trick is to cook it for a good long time. This one took an hour and ten minutes at 180C which allowed all the vegetables to cook through. If the top browns too quickly cover it with a bit of baking paper but it shouldn't be a problem.

Now at the planning stage, New Year's Eve dinner. Come back soon.
