Italian Rice Pie I image

This recipe was acquired by myself from a friend in 1986. It is originally from Naples, Italy. Italian Rice Pie is a tradition for my family on Easter. When I was young, the week prior to Easter was one full of activity in the kitchen. My mother and her sisters would prepare all the food in advance which was then laid out on the table Saturday morning. The local parish priest would come and bless the food for all to enjoy on Easter Sunday after mass!

I baked the pie in a cast iron skillet, and it turned out beautifully. The cast iron skillet gave the pie a nice crispy crust.

I used a store-bought pie crust to save time, and the pie still turned out great. The filling was so flavorful that it made up for the lack of a homemade crust.
