Christmas vegetables pie




This dish can be varied endlessly with what you have left in the fridge! It is really nice with a salad .Remember to use greens like spinach , brocolli and peas and red peppers and carrot like root vegetables .Of course you can use frozen greens instead of fresh vegetables

When you pre-bake the pie, you can line the pie with a baking sheet paper and top with beans, they then act as a weight and hold the pie crust in place. When you then take out the shell, you just remove the beans and fill the shell with your selected ingredients.
