Gorgeous pie and very quick to do . The only thing I added was some moroccan spice. This recipe made a generous sized pie and was a great vegetarian meal.

Reviewed for PAC October 2011- this is a great vegetarian slice. I doubled the recipe and used a 9 x 13 inch pyrex baking dish. Baked for 30 minutes at 180C in a fan-forced oven. Unlike other vegetable slices I have made, this slice does not have extra oil added with the eggs and no cheese (and I din't miss the cheese as the pumpkin gave an added creaminess to the slice). As I am gluten-free, I used 1/2 cup Orgran blended self-raising flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and 1/2 cup sorghum flour- turned out perfectly. I sliced into 20 slices which all held their shape. This slice would be a great addition to a lunchbox and would be nice cold too. I could also see it as a brunch recipe- great as could be cooked the day before. I think the slice needs to have some salt and pepper added for seasoning or an alternative would be to use some fresh or dried herbs of your choice. Photo to be posted.
