NAVY BEAN PIE (MUSLIM)

I got hooked on the Bean Pie I used to get from the Muslim bakery back home, so had to try and recreate it! This is very good and reminds me of pumpkin pie, except it's made from beans. :-) (To get the beans smoothly mashed, I would recommend a food processor).

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup dried navy beans, picked over, soaked overnight, and drained
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
1/2 recipe Essential Pate Brisee
One 12-ounce can evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Rinse beans and transfer to a saucepan. Add 3 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce to low, cover, and cook beans slowly until tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Measure 1 cup beans and set aside, reserving remaining beans for another use.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out pate brisee to a 13-inch round about 1/8-inch thick. Fit dough into a 9-inch pie dish and press into bottom edges and up the sides. Trim edge, leaving a 1-inch overhang; fold edge under and crimp as desired. Freeze 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees with the rack located in the lower third. Line crust with parchment paper, gently pressing the parchment into the edges of the crust; weigh down parchment with pie weights or dried beans.
  • Bake until the edges of the crust begin to turn golden, about 30 minutes. Carefully remove pie weights and parchment paper. Continue to bake until crust is golden brown in color, about 20 minutes more. Transfer the crust to a wire rack to cool slightly.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. In a blender, combine beans, evaporated milk, 2 tablespoons flour, sugar, butter, cinnamon, eggs, and vanilla. Blend until mixture is smooth.
  • Strain bean mixture through a sieve into a glass measuring cup. Pour filling into cooled crust and bake until golden filling is just set, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving with whipped cream, if desired.

NAVY BEAN AND HAM POT PIE



Navy Bean and Ham Pot Pie image

This one was a family favorite when we were kids but I did not find the recipe in Mom's notebook. (She had an entire dresser drawer full of recipe clippings and I just took the notebook and few of the papers when she passed.) So I called my sister Susan Stevens. We brainstormed and I think we have the recipe from our combined...

SOUP:
1 small pkg. dry navy beans (or great northern white beans) i like the navy beans because they are smaller
1 ham steak (cubed)
1 small onion (chopped)
2 stalks of celery (cubed)
2 large carrots (cubed)
4 qt water (need lot of broth for noodles to cook properly)
POT PIE DOUGH (LIKE NOODLES / DUMPLINGS)
1 1/2 c flour
3/4 c milk
1 whole egg
1/2 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. PREPARING THE BEANS: The night before rinse beans and remove any rocks. Place beans in pot and cover with water to soak overnight on the stove top. In the morning you will see bubbles on the water -- the beans are releasing some of their gas.
  • 2. Discard the soaking water and cover the beans with water again and bring to a boil. After it comes to a boil, turn the heat off, let it cool a little, and then discard this water, too. (This removes a lot of the gas from the beans.)
  • 3. COOKING THE BEANS AND SOUP: Fill a 6 qt pot with the beans and 4 quarts of fresh water.
  • 4. Add the ham, onion, celery, and carrots (all cubed small) to the water and turn up the heat to bring it to a boil, again. Then turn the heat down and simmer for a few hours until the beans are cooked. (You can reduce the cooking time to about 30-45 minutes by using a pressure cooker.)
  • 5. MAKING THE POT PIE DOUGH: 1.Combine flour, milk, egg, and salt. Mix well. If dough is too sticky just add a little more flour. 2.Roll dough out on flour covered area to about 1/4" inch thick. (Thickness should be about twice what you would use for actual pie crust.) Cut dough into 1 1/2" squares to make noodles.
  • 6. Slowly drop individual squares into the bubbling finished soup and cook for 10 minutes on medium heat until noodles are done. You can tell they are done when they puff up a little and change to an even color. Serve immediately. Note 1: if you cook the dough too long they will slowly disintegrate into the soup. This is not bad, it won't ruin the soup, but you won't have any of the delicious pot pie to eat -- which is part of the pleasure.
  • 7. Note 2: No need to add salt, the ham has plenty. If you add too much ham, the soup will be too salty.
  • 8. Note 3: This could be made with a ham bone, rather than the ham steak. You can also make it with about 1/2 pkg of uncooked bacon cut in cubes.

Tips:

  • For a creamier pie, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • To make the pie ahead of time, bake it and let it cool completely. Then, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
  • When you're ready to serve the pie, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • For a vegan version of this pie, use almond milk instead of regular milk, and vegan butter instead of regular butter.
  • If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 2 minutes, then letting them sit for 1 hour.

Conclusion:

Navy bean pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover navy beans, and it can be made ahead of time, making it a convenient option for busy weeknights. With its creamy texture and sweet flavor, navy bean pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
