Deep Dish Potato And Pumpkin Pie Recipe

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
2. Split the pumpkin in half, seed and place the pumpkin halves face down on a baking sheet.
3. Split the potatoes lengthwise and place on the pan with the pumpkin.
4. Bake the pumpkin and potatoes for 1 hour. Let cool.
5. Spoon out the flesh and put it into a large bowl. Cut the potato into 1/2” cubes.
6. To make the dough in a food processor fitted with a steel blade, put the flour and salt into the processor.
7. Add the shortening. Run the machine in spurts until the shortening is in pea-sized bits. Add 4 tablespoons ice water, and run the machine in spurts again just enough to bring the dough together.
8. Turn the dough onto a work surface and knead it with your hands until the dough is soft and smooth.
9. Preheat the oven to 375F.
10. On a floured surface, roll out the dough, and use it to line the bottom and sides of a large deep dish pie pan.
11. Pierce the dough with a fork.
12. Bake the crust for 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven. Reduce the heat to 350F.
13. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, and cook them about 5 minutes.
14. Add the garlic, and cook for 2 minutes more, stirring frequently.
15. Remove the skillet from the heat.
16. Stir in the pumpkin, potato, beans, thyme, allspice, salt, and pepper.
17. Spoon into pre-baked pie shell.
18. Bake 30 minutes
