my enthusiasm for silverbeet was waning, y'all guys got me sorted. I was so pleased amongst the repast ideas y'all left on that post that I was genuinely counting downwardly the days until the side yesteryear side silverbeet delivery! During those chard-less days I received some other recipe proposition via email, from Michael's mum Robyn. Well, folks, she's my mother-in-law, so I figured I'd ameliorate laissez passer on it a shot. Ha! Actually, it looked similar a expert i - a quiche-style dish amongst a pastry made generally of mashed potatoes.
Now, a mashed murphy 'pastry' is commonly the form of affair that would direct maintain me suspicious. Shortcrust pastry is almost sacred to me. But Michael too I had this dish nosotros used to brand pre-blog, amongst a grated murphy crust too broccoli-quiche-kinda filling, so I knew this had promise. I simply didn't read the recipe closely plenty earlier nosotros started. Michael laid to boiling too mashing the potatoes a fiddling belatedly inwards the eve too it was entirely so that I noticed the xxx minutes required to residual the pastry, the 40-50 minutes to bake the pie too the subsequent twenty minutes that the finished pie allegedly needed to rest. (I knew it'd direct maintain a spell to bake but, really, did it postulate all that lazing around?) So Michael made the murphy dough, popped it inwards the refrigerator too nosotros got dinner delivered.
This was a expert decision. Our delivered dinner was marvellous, too the pie prep got fifty-fifty to a greater extent than involved than the recipe predicted. The murphy pastry was mushy too challenging to mould, fifty-fifty when I tripled the flour quantity, too the pie simply would. not. set. It spent at least an hr too a one-half inwards the oven all up, too got its post-oven nap twice over - however the crusty walls buckled when I loosened the springform pan, amongst cracks oozing mashed murphy too threatening to unleash an eggy avalanche. Dinner was messy but tasty, too luncheon was ameliorate - a nighttime inwards the refrigerator firmed everything upward nicely too it fifty-fifty withstood a solid microwave heat-up at work.
Naturally, that film y'all run across upward meridian is the well-behaved post-fridge version of this pie. I've since had a run a jeopardy to consult Robyn on our approach too non come upward up amongst whatever glaring mistakes. She thinks nosotros could potentially upward the flour quantity fifty-fifty further, spell I'm plotting a pastry pre-bake to describe solid those potatoes correct up. In the recipe below I'll tape what nosotros did (with a span of asides) and, if nosotros create something ameliorate side yesteryear side time, you'll travel the start to know. It's the to the lowest degree I tin create for y'all crazy silverbeet lovers.
Potato-crusted silverbeet pie
(based on a recipe from Michael's mum, Robyn)
4 large potatoes
20g butter
3/4 loving cup manifestly flour
3 eggs
300mL cream
1/2 loving cup grated tasty cheese
1/2 loving cup grated parmesan
6-8 cups chopped silverbeet, stems included
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
salt too pepper, to taste
Peel too chop the potatoes, so educate them inwards boiling H2O until tender (about xv minutes). Drain the potatoes too squelch them thoroughly (you don't desire lumps!). Add the butter too flour too stir everything together until it's describe solid plenty to assort a ball (you may desire to add together to a greater extent than flour). Refrigerate the dough for at to the lowest degree xxx minutes (we left ours for a sum day).
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Roll the dough out betwixt 2 pieces of greaseproof paper, large plenty to jibe a springform tin (if y'all don't direct maintain one, I'm certain y'all tin utilization a pie or casserole dish or cake tin). Remove the meridian canvass of paper, so ease the bottom canvass too the pastry into the tin too gently shape it to assort a crust. Although I did non create this, I would propose pre-baking this crust until lightly golden - maybe 10, xv minutes?
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs too cream, so stir inwards the cheeses, silverbeet too nutmeg. Season it equally y'all similar too pour the mixture into the murphy crust. Bake the pie until it's laid - this volition in all probability direct maintain an hr too maybe longer. Allow the pie to cool inwards the tin for twenty minutes earlier slicing too serving.
