DIJON-TOMATO & SWEET ONION PIE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Note: I use a cast iron skillet to prepare the pie. Bake the pie shell until lightly golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. Leave the oven on.
• 2. While the pie crust is cooling, prepare the filling by thinly slicing the onion and tomatoes (or if you prefer you can dice the onions and tomatoes). Arrange the tomato slices on paper towels to absorb excess moisture. My heirloom tomatoes were bursting and almost too ripe for this dish. The end result was my pie was a little watery but a good stint overnight in the refrigerator helped to firm up the pie considerably. Also, before I forget I think the next time I will lightly sautè the onions first before adding them to the pie.
• 3. In a prep bowl, mix together both cheeses, the mayonnaise, both mustards and a generous pinch of pepper. The mixture should be thick, but spread easily.
• 4. Spread a thin layer of the cheese mixture over the bottom of the pie shell. Top the mixture with half of the onion slices, then half of the tomato slices, followed by the remaining onions, then the remaining tomatoes.
• 5. Spread the rest of the cheese mixture over the tomatoes and garnish with a sprinkle of paprika. Bake until browned and bubbly, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove the pie from the oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes. Cut into slices, then top each serving with some of the fresh basil. We served the pie with a simple side of steamed vegetables: green beans, carrots and romanesco.

Place pie crust into a 9 inch pie plate and crimp edges. In a small bowl stir together mayonnaise, lemon juice, basil and salt and pepper. Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese in bottom. Top with 1/3 of the tomatoes and scallions. Sprinkle with more cheese and drizzle on 1/3 of mayonnaise mixture.

TOMATO, SPINACH AND SPRING ONION PIE

Steps:

• Set oven at 425 deg F/220 deg Celsius.
• Use a generous pie plate: mine wasn't standard, and measured 7 1/2" across at the bottom, 10 1/2 inches across the top, and was a little more than 2" deep. Any pie dish will do.
• Roll out the pastry on a floured board, and cut out a generous circle (lay the pie plate upside down on the pastry and cut with a knife in a wide circle around it).
• Grease the pie plate lightly with oil, then plonk in the pastry and fit without stretching. Crimp the edges.
• Whisk the 3 eggs, then use a brush and brush the pastry all over with the egg. Keep the beaten eggs.If necessary put the lined pie plate in the fridge.
• I found lovely purple-bottomed sping onions, but use whatever you have: chop them and scatter evenly into the bottom of the pie plate, to cover. If you don't have spring onions, try rings of sweet onion.
• In this case I used Swiss Chard, a soft,light green kind, from my own garden, but frozen, cooked and drained is just fine. I called it "spinach" because it's a shorter word, but swiss chard is what I use. If you prepare this early in the day, you can leave it to drain, and press out more liquid before using. Stir in salt and nutmeg.
• Whenever I make a white sauce, I use a shortcut: put the milk in a small pot, whisk in the tablespoon flour, add a pinch of salt, and then whisk until milk comes to the boil and thickens. So try that here, and you cut out the butter normally used.
• Pull off the heat, whisk once or twice, then add the cheese, Tabasco and garlic.
• Stir the cheese sauce into the spinach.
• Also stir in the egg mixture left over after you "painted" the pastry into the drained swiss chard/spinach. The eggs will help firm up the mixture during baking.
• Rosa tomatoes are small plum-shaped tomatoes, and they are especially sweet. If you can't get them, use cherry tomatoes or even tomato slices, but in the latter cases, sprinkle over a little sugar. Rosa tomatoes simply explode in the mouth in a burst of sweet flavour.
• Ladle the swiss chard mixture over the spring onions in the lined pie plate. Scatter the basil leaves over the swiss chard.
• Pack the rosa tomatoes all over the top. (See my original photograph). If not using rosa, sprinkle over a little sugar.
• Brush with olive oil or, preferably, spray the tomatoes with an olive oil and garlic spray.
• Put in the preheated oven. Keep at that high heat for about 10 - 15 mins, then turn heat down to 350 deg.
• Bake for about 30 mins or more, until pie has risen and is set.
• Serve hot or warm, in slices, with a main dish of meat and a side salad.
