Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green tomatoes
- 8 ounces Chorizo sausage
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 9-inch Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim any excess dough and set aside.
Slice the green tomatoes into thin rounds and set them on paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove the casing from the chorizo sausage if necessary, then crumble it into the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Transfer the cooked chorizo to a plate using a slotted spoon and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced yellow onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened, then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the onions and garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring, to form a paste. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream, cooking until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the paprika, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat.
Spread half of the sliced green tomatoes in an even layer on the bottom of the pie crust. Add the cooked chorizo on top, followed by the onion-cream mixture. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
Top with the remaining green tomatoes, arranging them in a decorative pattern if desired.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the edges of the pie crust with the egg wash.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Let the pie rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
