Potato, tomato and onion pie


 How do you define a pie?  Because frankly, this dish is very possibly not one.  But look, shut up okay, it's full of potato and what more do you want? So it's kind of a casserole, layered like a lasagne, but in a pie dish, and crunchy on top.  It's classic peasant/student fare, and given the December Austerity Measures this should free up enough coin to subsidise the high quality cooking chocolate I need for all my Christmassy treats and not at all for gnawing on after dinner.


Ingredients:
  • 2 potatoes
  • 3 tomatoes
  • 1 onion
  • 1 teaspoon wholeseed mustard
  • slice of butter
  • olive oil 
  • salt and pepper  

Brush a pie dish with olive oil and turn the oven on to 180 C. Melt the butter with the mustard and add salt and pepper.  Then finely slice everything.







Line the pie dish first with a layer of potatoes, then onion, then tomato.  Add half the mustardy butter mixture.  Repeat. 





Top with potato and brush the top with olive oil.  Sprinkle with salt if you know what's good for you.



Cover with foil and put in the oven.  After 30 minutes remove the foil and turn the oven up to 190.  Remove after another 30 minutes.


Consume.

Mmm - delicious, hearty food for this wintery summer weather. I made it with cherry tomatoes coz that's all we had in the house, so it ended up being quite sweet and the onions all caramelised. You'll be happy to know we ended our meal with macaroons.
