Farmland Vegetable Pie

This wholesome farmland vegetable pie is a celebration of seasonal produce, bringing together the earthy flavours of yellow squash, okra, and sweet tomatoes. Enclosed in a unique, golden pastry enriched with cornmeal, the filling is elevated by a layer of savoury hard-boiled eggs and melted cheese. The addition of fresh basil provides a fragrant lift that cuts through the richness of the buttery crust, making it a truly satisfying vegetarian main course.

Ideal for a rustic weekend lunch or a comforting midweek supper, this dish offers a wonderful variety of textures. The cornmeal provides a delicate crunch to the pastry, while the combination of summer vegetables ensures every bite is packed with nutrients. Serve it warm with a crisp green salad or allow it to reach room temperature for a delicious addition to a garden picnic.

  • 120ml corn kernels (from 1 ear)

  • 170g coarsely grated Havarti or Muenster cheese (130g)

  • 1 cup chopped basil

  • 1 tablespoon cornmeal (not stone-ground)

  • 4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped

  • 220g plain flour

  • 60g cornmeal

  • 1 cucchiaio di lievito in polvere

  • 3/4 cucchiaini di sale

  • 3/4 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

  • 180ml whole milk plus additional for brushing

Place a heavy baking sheet on middle rack of oven, then preheat oven to 204°C.

Toss squash with 1 teaspoon salt, then drain in a colander 30 minutes. Pat squash dry.

Cook spring onions (except greens) and garlic in oil with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, 4 to 6 minutes. Add squash and okra and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in tomatoes.

Transfer to a large bowl, then toss with corn, cheese, basil, cornmeal, and spring onion greens. Season with salt and pepper.

Pulse dry ingredients with butter in a food processor until mixture resembles coarse meal with some roughly pea-size butter lumps. Transfer to a bowl and stir in milk until mixture just forms a dough.

Gather dough into a ball and chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, 5 minutes.

Halve dough and roll out 1 piece on a well-floured surface with a floured rolling pin into a 13-inch round. Transfer to a 9-inch glass pie plate, leaving overhang.

Spread eggs evenly in crust and season with 1/4 teaspoons salt. Add vegetable filling, mounding slightly in middle.

Roll out remaining dough in same manner and place over filling. Trim, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Press edges of crust together. Fold overhang under and crimp edge all around.

Brush crust with additional milk, then cut 3 steam vents.

Bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbling, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Cool at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
