Three Pepper Pie Recipes

THREE PEPPER PIE

Steps:

• Heat 1/2 teaspoon of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the peppers and cook for 10 minutes. Add the zucchini and eggplant and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the rosemary, vinegar, 2 teaspoons of salt and pepper. Cover and cook for 15 minutes longer. Scrape the mixture into a colander, place over a bowl and let drain for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the ricotta and egg together. Stir in the olives, lemon zest, thyme, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Set aside. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a medium-size nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut the roasted peppers in half and quarter each half. Layer 1/3 of the pepper pieces in the bottom of a deep, 9-inch cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet or deep-dish casserole. Spread half the ricotta mixture over the peppers and top with half the eggplant mixture. Repeat layers of pepper, ricotta and eggplant, finishing with a layer of roasted peppers on top. Bake until the pie is heated through, about 30 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve.

THREE BERRY PIE

Steps:

• Combine the flour and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the shortening until the pieces are the size of small peas. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the water over part of the mixture, then gently toss with a fork. Push moistened portion to the side of the bowl. Repeat, using 1 tablespoon of water at a time, until all is moistened. Divide the dough in half. Form each half into a ball and flatten slightly. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Transfer one piece of dough to a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough from the center to the edges to form a 12-inch circle. Wrap the crust around the rolling pin. Unroll it onto a 9-inch pie plate. Ease the crust into the pie plate, being careful not to stretch it. Trim the bottom crust evenly with the rim of the pie plate, and return the pastry-lined pie plate to the refrigerator.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sugar and cornstarch. Add the strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries; gently toss until berries are coated. Allow fruit mixture to stand for about 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place a baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
• Roll out the remaining pastry for the top crust. Stir the berry mixture and pour the filling into the pastry-lined pie plate. Place the top crust over the pie and trim the edges, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold the top crust under the bottom crust, pressing lightly to seal. Crimp the edges of the crust and cut vents in the top to allow steam to escape. To prevent over-browning, cover the edge of the pie with foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven on the baking tray for 25 minutes. Remove the foil.
• Bake for an additional 20 to 30 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden. Cool on a wire rack.
