Lorna's Red
Dragon Pie |
|
Ingredients:
Base:
Assorted red
vegetables,
e.g. kidney
beans, beetroot, carrot, red cabbage & red pepper
Garlic
Cinnamon stick
Cloves
Chopped root
ginger
Salt & Pepper to
season
Vegetable stock
cube
enough water to
prevent sticking
Top:
Potatoes to mash
(Maris Piper?)
Knob of butter
Grated cheese
for topping (enough
to taste)
|
Method:
According to the
author, this is a "bung-it-in" recipe.
-
Cook the veggies in a
saucepan first, remove clove and cinnamon once tender.
-
Boil the tatties and
mash in another saucepan.
-
Put veg. mix into a
large casserole dish
-
Spread mashed tatties
over top veggies
-
Sprinkle grated cheese
over top tatties
-
Put in a hot oven
(temperature will be up to the individual to decide) and heat through
until tatties and cheese are browned. (Dinna let it burn!)
- You can make
this green or golden dragon pie by changing the colour of the veggies
used. (Definitely the surprise hit of the weekend!!)
