350g/12oz Onions
350g/12oz Carrots
50g/2oz Butter or margarine
5ml/1 tsp Thyme
30ml/2 tbsp Wholemeal flour
5ml/1 tsp Yeast extract (Marmite or
Vegemite)
Pepper to taste
425g/15oz Wholemeal shortcrust pastry or white if you prefer
Chop the onions and grate the
carrots. Melt the butter or margarine and sauté the onion
until transparent. Add the grated carrots and thyme and simmer gently,
stirring frequently, for 10 minutes. Stir in the flour and yeast
extract and season to taste. Leave to cool.
Roll out a generous half of the pastry and use to line an 8" pie plate
or flan tin. Fill with the veg mixture and top with the remaining
pastry. Seal the edges and flute with a fork. Make two slashes in the
centre of the pie and decorate with diamond slivers of pastry if
desired.
Bake in the oven at 200°C (400°F/Gas Mark 6) for about
half an hour until golden.
Serve hot, warm or cold.
