Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 500 grams lean ground beef
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 250 grams, sliced button mushrooms
- 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 100 grams, crumbled feta cheese
- 200 grams whole grain flour
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 60 milliliters cold water
- 80 milliliters olive oil
- 1 large, beaten egg
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
To make the pie crust, in a large bowl, mix the whole grain flour and sea salt. Add cold water and 80 ml of olive oil. Stir until the dough holds together. Form into a ball, wrap in cling film, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and red bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables are tender and most of the moisture has evaporated, about 7 minutes.
Add the tomato paste, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the beef mixture. Stir well to combine, then remove from heat. Allow to cool slightly.
Stir the crumbled feta into the beef and mushroom mixture.
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 23cm (9-inch) pie dish. Place the dough in the dish, gently pressing into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.
Fill the crust with the beef and mushroom mixture.
Roll out remaining dough trimmings and cut into strips to form a lattice on top of the pie, if desired.
Brush the top crust or lattice with the beaten egg.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Let the pie cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
