Description

A wonderful pie that we have made many times in our kitchen. The mung beans are cooked in broth with sautéed onions and carrots, then mixed with grated Emmental cheese and baked in puff pastry. A hearty protein dish, just be careful not to overbake it in the oven.

Ingredients

Mung Beans - 8.8 oz
Carrot - 1 piece
Garlic - 2 cloves
Spanish onions - 1 piece
Olive Oil - 1 fl oz
Puff Pastry - 7.1 oz
Salt - to taste
Emmental cheese - 3.5 oz
Ground Black Pepper - to taste
Chicken Egg - 1 piece
Wheat Flour - a pinch

Step by Step guide

Step 1

In a deep skillet, sauté finely chopped carrots and onions in vegetable oil. Once the vegetables become tender, add garlic and cook until fragrant.

Step 2

Add the mung beans, stir, and pour in water. About one liter should be enough. Cook over medium heat for forty minutes. Most likely, the water will evaporate completely during this time; if not, drain any excess water and mix the cooked beans with grated cheese. Let cool.

Step 3

Roll out the puff pastry, dusting the rolling pin with flour, into a large thin rectangle slightly larger than a standard baking tray. Spread peas over the pastry and fold the edges.
