Carrot pie with cumin recipe
- 500 g (17.6oz) pate feuilletee, or 2 packets puff pastry
- 4 small yellow carrots
- 4 small orange carrots
- 4 small black carrots
- 4 small onions
- 5 eggs
- 200 ml (7fl oz) thin (pouring) cream
- 3 tsp ground cumin
- 1 pinch salt and pepper
- 150 g (5.3oz) vieux (aged) Comte cheese, grated
- Peel the carrots and cut them into 3 mm (1/8 inch) sticks.
- Cook the yellow and orange carrots together in boiling salted water for 10 minutes and refresh them immediately in cold water.
- Cook the black carrots separately in the same way, so they dont colour the others, and refresh them.
- Set aside.
- Peel and finely chop the onions.
- Set aside 1 egg yolk for the glaze.
- Whisk the remaining eggs and leftover white with the cream, add the cumin and season well.
- Line the cake tin with baking paper, or grease and flour it.
- Roll out two-thirds of the pastry dough until 3 mm thick (1/8 inch) and place it in the tin, with the edges hanging over the side.
- Fill with alternating layers: half the carrots, half the onions and half the Comte cheese.
- Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients and pour over the egg cream cumin mixture.
- Glaze the edges with the egg yolk.
- Roll out the remaining dough to make a second round and use it to cover the pie.
- Seal the two rounds of pastry dough together by pinching the edges and glaze the top of the pie.
- Make a light criss-cross pattern over the top with the back of a knife to decorate.
- Place on a pre-heated heavy-based baking tray and bake at 180C (350F/Gas 4) for 45 minutes.
