-- Veg pie --
Basically, it's this.
--- Ingredients ---
Pastry ----
125g plain flour 55g butter water
Pie ----
Root veg (Carrots, swede, potato) cauliflower broccoli A leek
Sauce ----
40g butter 40g flour onion or two loads of cheese tbs mustard chopped sage chopped thyme garlic
--- Making it ---
Pastry ----
In a food processor add the flour, and the butter small lumps at a time, pulsing until it looks like bread crumbs. Turn the motor to low and add enough water until it comes together. Wrap in clingfilm and chill.
Veg ----
Peel and chop the veg and boil until tender. (I boiled the carrots, spuds and swede, then added the broccoli and cauliflower nearer the end.) Drain into a colander and leave to cool.
Sauce ----
Soften the onions and garlic in the butter over a low heat until translucent. Stir in the flour and cook for a minute or two. Slowly add the milk, stirring all the time to avoid lumps. Stir over a low heat until it begins to thicken and is nearly boiling.
Take off the heat and add the chopped sage, chopped thyme, grated cheese and a tbs of mustard, stir.
Pie ----
Bung all the veg in a pie dish, pour over the sauce, roll out the pastry and put on top. Seal round the edges to avoid spillage. Brush with some milk and bung into a 200 degree c oven for 30/40 minutes until golden and done.
