Title: Andrew Fielke's Quandong Pie with Maggie's Sour-Cream Pas
Categories: Pie Australian Native
Yield: 6 Servings
****PASTRY**** | ||
200 | g | Unsalted butter, chilled |
250 | g | Plain flour |
125 | ml | Sour cream |
****QUANDONG PIE**** | ||
200 | g | Quandongs, dried |
500 | ml | Water |
600 | ml | Orange juice |
200 | g | Sugar |
35 | g | Arrowroot |
To make the pastry, chop the butter and add it with the flour to a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add sour cream and pulse until the dough forms a ball- it doesn't have to be smooth and will have "patches". Wrap it carefully in plastic film and rest in the refridgerator for 20 minutes. Then roll it out and line a 20cm pie tin with it, then roll out a lid. Refridgerate both for another 20 minutes. [I find the freezer best for this].
Meanwhile, simmer the quandongs in the water, orange juice and sugar for 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the fruit to a bowl. Add the arrowroot to the liquid and allow it to thicken gently over heat. Return the fruit to the sauce and allow it to cool.
Preheat the oven to 190^C/[375^F?]. Fill the chilled pastry case with the quandong mixture, then carefully put the pastry lid in place, pinching the edges to ensure a good seal. Bake for 45 minutes until golden and serve hot.
