How to Make Woolton Pie
- **Prepare the Filling:** Roughly chop 1 large onion, 2 carrots, 2 celery stalks, 1 cup of chopped potatoes, 1 cup of chopped swede (or turnips), and 1 cup of chopped green beans.
- In a large pot, sauté the onion in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until softened. Add the carrots, celery, and swede and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Stir in the potatoes and green beans, adding 1 cup of vegetable broth to cover.
- Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
- Season generously with 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, ½ teaspoon of dried rosemary, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper. Stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley.
- Allow the mixture to cool completely.
- **Make the Pastry:** In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
- Cut in ½ cup of cold vegetable shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ½ cup of cold mashed potatoes, mixing gently until a dough forms. Add 2-4 tablespoons of ice water, if needed, to bring the dough together.
- Knead the dough lightly on a floured surface until smooth.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about ⅛ inch thickness.
- **Assemble and Bake:** Transfer the cooled vegetable filling into a 9-inch deep pie dish or casserole dish.
- Cover with the rolled-out pastry, crimping the edges to seal.
- Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with a dollop of your favorite gravy or a side salad!
