sawylFinally having a bit of spare, I tried out one of Ruby Tandoh's pie recipes from last weekend's Guardian.
I'm pleased to be able to report the results were extremely successful and was surprised and pleased by how easy the pastry crust was to make and how well it it came it out. The filling, too, worked very well: the carrot, garlic and spices combined to produce a very nice veg puree with the leaves — I used spinach in place of chard — providing a nice contrast, and the aubergine adding heft to bottom and top.
Although it was a bit of a hassle to prepare, I'm definitely going to make it again — preferable on a day when there's a good, long drama on the radio to keep my brain occupied...
