Time 2h20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chilled butter, cut into small bits
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
2 -4 tablespoons ice water
1 egg
1 tablespoon white vinegar or 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
7 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 lbs carrots, cleaned and grated
1/4 cup water
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 cup freshly cooked brown rice
1 1/2 cups grated swiss cheese
1 egg, beaten with
2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • For pastry: Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut in butter and shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. Beat 2 tblsps ice water, egg and vinegar to blend. Mix into flour just until dough comes together into a ball. If dough seems too dry, add up to 2 tblsps more water, a few drops at a time. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
  • For filling: Melt 4 tblsps butter in small skillet over low heat. Add onion, cover and cook gently until soft, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Remove from skillet.
  • Melt remaining 3 tblsps butter in same skillet over low heat. Add carrots, increase heat to high and stir 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Add water, cover and cook until carrots are tender and liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes (if carrots are tender and there is still liquid, drain).
  • Puree onions and carrots in processor with eggs, yolks, salt, allspice and pepper until smooth. Turn into bowl and refrigerate 1 hour.
  • To assemble: Preheat oven to 340°F Grease 5 ½ x 9 ½ inch loaf pan (or 4 ½ x 11 inches).
  • Roll dough out on lightly-floured surface to thickness of ¼ inch. Cut out 12 x 16 inch rectangle. Drape dough loosely in pan. Press into corners gently with fingers. Trim dough flush with top of pan. Roll scraps out to ¼ inch thick. Cut out rectangle large enough to cover top of pan.
  • Stir rice and cheese into carrot mixture. Spoon into prepared pan. Brush edge of crust with glaze. Cover with dough, pressing to seal. Roll remaining scraps out. Cut out dough decorations and stick them on with the egg glaze. Brush entire pie with glaze. Make 6 steam vents. Bake until lightly-browned, about 1 ½ hours. Cool in pan. Remove carefully. Serve at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use fresh carrots. Fresh carrots have a sweeter flavor and are more nutritious than store-bought carrots.
  • Peel and grate the carrots finely. This will help them to cook evenly and will make the pie filling smoother.
  • Use a food processor to make the carrot mixture. This will save you time and effort, and it will also help to ensure that the mixture is evenly blended.
  • Add some spices to the carrot mixture. This will help to enhance the flavor of the pie.
  • Use a pre-made pie crust to save time. If you are short on time, you can use a pre-made pie crust instead of making your own.
  • Bake the pie at a low temperature. This will help to prevent the pie from overcooking.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the pie to set and will make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Carrot pie is a delicious and healthy dessert that is perfect for people with diabetes. It is made with fresh carrots, which are a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The pie is also low in sugar and fat, making it a good choice for people who are watching their weight or blood sugar levels. If you are looking for a tasty and nutritious dessert, carrot pie is a great option.
