Harvest Vegetable Pie

Harvest Vegetable Pie

Harvest Vegetable Pie

Harvest Vegetable Pie has great vegetable taste because it hasn’t a sauce; its intense flavors come from the very finely sliced vegetables layered with a mixture of extra-virgin olive oil, finely diced red onion and fresh herbs encased in a no-fail goat or cream cheese crust. This pie is easy to make, the only specialized equipment you need is either a food-processor with a fine-slice blade, a mandolin, a box grater with a slice side, or a very sharp knife and a steady hand. This pie makes a great lunch or light dinner paired with soup and salad.
