MEDITERRANEAN MEAT PIES (SFEEHA)
These savory little meat pies are a takeoff on a recipe from my Lebanese mother-in-law (who is one of the very best cooks I know). She makes the dough from scratch, but I use puff pastry instead to save time. Great for an appetizer or as a side dish!

- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the ground beef and ground lamb, chopped onion, pine nuts, cinnamon, and salt and black pepper. Cook and stir until the meat is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease.
- Stir in the lemon juice; taste and adjust the seasonings, and let the meat mixture cool.
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

- Brush each pie with a little egg wash. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:
- 1. First heat the oven 400-degrees. Cut the meat into small pieces. Brown in olive oil, then lower the heat, add wine and cook for about 10 minutes, until no longer raw. In the meantime, beat the eggs with flour, salt and milk. The mixture should resemble pancake dough. Remove thyme leaves from the branches, add to the mixture and stir.
- 2. Cover the bottom of an ovenproof dish with olive oil, place in the oven. When the olive oil is hot, remove from the oven. Put a third of the egg mixture at the bottom of the dish. It will cook for you instantly. Next put half of the meat, then the egg mixture, meat and egg mixture on top.
- 3. Using a fork, push some of the meat pieces down, to flatten the top. Decorate with thyme springs. Return the casserole back to the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
MEDITERRANEAN PIE
This is a delicious savoury pie guaranteed to impress at a special breakfast or brunch! Its a favourite of Karen Brimacombe, one of the authors of the Best of Bridge series! Its too large a large pie for just the 2 of us - so I made half the recipe this morning in a Corning baking dish; it required 60 minutes of baking time. Editted to add comments: Since it would be easier to serve from a springform pan, I recently purchased a half-sized one from Dollarama!

Unlike a lot of similar recipes, this is vegan (cheese opt.), gluten-free and made in the oven, not a crock pot. It is so good. Someone I fed it to said "It's like all these really good vegetable are vying for your attention, and they're all winning."

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients in advance: Dicing vegetables, mincing garlic, and measuring spices beforehand can streamline the cooking process, saving you time and hassle.
- Use a large pot or Dutch oven: This will ensure you have enough space for all the ingredients and prevent overcrowding, which can lead to uneven cooking.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your liking: Feel free to add more or less vegetables, use different cheeses, or adjust the seasonings to suit your taste.
- Cook the filling until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened: This will ensure that the filling is flavorful and satisfying.
- Use a pre-made pie crust or make your own: If you're short on time, pre-made pie crusts are a great option. However, making your own crust from scratch can give your pot pie a more homemade feel.
- Brush the top of the pie crust with milk or egg wash before baking: This will help it brown beautifully in the oven.
- Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before serving: This will allow the filling to set and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
This Mediterranean pot pie is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cozy meal. With its combination of tender chicken, colorful vegetables, creamy sauce, and flaky crust, it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. Whether you're looking for a comforting weeknight dinner or a special occasion meal, this pot pie is sure to deliver. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to embark on a culinary journey to the Mediterranean!
