PIE!
posted by Yllsa on Sun, 2009-11-08 05:51
So I bought some of this a few weeks ago and I've been procrastinating over what to make with it - until tonight.
I've been wanting to try making mini-pies for a while and since I finally remembered to snag some Cream of Tomato at the grocery, I figured tonight would be a good night to try it out.
Here's what I ended up with:
The first 3 clock-wise are "meat pies". The filling is the Morningstar "meat", some mixed veg and Cream O' Tomato thrown in, simmered for about 10 minutes in medium-high. The dough is really plain pie dough, just flour, water and butter (actually I used margarine o_o). The 'C' is cut for my boyfriend :3
The top left one (the ugly one) is actually some left over anko I wanted to use up. I haven't tried it yet but I'll let you know how that one came out. I also had some of the 'meat' filling left, which I'm going to stuff into onigiri tomorrow when I'm replenishing my freezer stash.

In case you were wondering, yes most of my improvised recipes involve me seeing what I have and throwing what seems like a reasonable portion into a pot and turn the heat up. I'm not that creative...

That is generally the way I operate as well. What I cook always depends on what is in the fridge/cabinets and what sounds good to me (or sometimes my husband).
