"This looks delicious and has a 5 star rating on www.taste.com.au This recipe was originally printed in Fresh Living magazine. It's Winter in Australia and I've been looking for a simple pie recipe without too many ingredients. I think this one fits the bill nicely. You could substitute Spinach for Silverbeet too."
