Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (pre-made or homemade)
- 400 grams Black beans (canned, drained and rinsed)
- 200 grams Fresh spinach
- 1 piece Onion, finely chopped
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 100 grams Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 piece Egg, beaten (for egg wash, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Add finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in minced garlic, cumin powder, paprika, red chili flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute until aromatic.
Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring until wilted.
Add the drained black beans to the skillet and mix well. Allow the mixture to cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Roll out the pie crust and place it into a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish, trimming the edges as needed.
Spread half of the black bean and spinach mixture evenly over the pie crust.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture.
Repeat with the remaining black bean mixture and top with the remaining cheese.
If desired, use the beaten egg to brush the edges of the crust for a golden finish.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy!
