Ingredients
For the Crust
- 1 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour refined flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 cup Butter cubed
- 1 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/4 cup Water as needed to bring dough together
For the Filling
- 2 cup Vegetables chopped onions, bell peppers (capsicum), etc., mixed, zucchini
- 1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
- 2 tbsp Herbs dried oregano, basil, mixed, thyme etc.
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 2 tsp Pepper black
- 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese shredded
- 1 tbsp Butter for sautéing vegetables
Instructions
Prepare the Crust
- Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cubed cold butter in a bowl. Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 10 minutes.
Sauté the Vegetables
- Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped vegetables and sauté until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
Assemble the Pie
- Roll out the chilled dough and press it into a pie dish or baking dish. Brush with a little melted butter.
Add the Filling
- Spread the cooked vegetables evenly over the crust. Pour tomato sauce over the vegetables. Sprinkle with mixed herbs and cinnamon.
Top and Bake
- Top with shredded mozzarella cheese. Cover the pie with remaining dough, either by creating a lattice top or simply draping it over. Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
Finish and Serve
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Dust with extra black pepper before serving.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Vegetable Pie
- For extra flavor, roast the vegetables before adding them to the pie.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Cheddar, parmesan, or a blend would all be delicious.
- If you don't have time to make a homemade crust, you can use a store-bought one.
- Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs before serving for an extra burst of freshness.
