Tomato and Onion Pie image

This is really old fashioned food. The only change I have made over the years is to cook the onion-in the original recipes for this it goes in raw (and often stays that way). I went looking for something similar to make, and as I couldn't find anything decided to post it. We are having this as a side with roast pork tonight, but it's good with any roast meat.
