Make the filling

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan.

  2. Saute the potatoes, onions, broccoli, and garlic for a few minutes.

Assemble the pies

  2. Put 3 cups of filling in each pie pan.

  3. Roll out the top crusts and place them over the pies.

  4. Seal the edges of the top and bottom crusts, wetting the edges first with water.

Bake and glaze

  1. Bake in a preheated oven at 400 °F for 40 minutes or until the top crusts are browned.

  2. When the pie has baked for about 30 minutes, glaze the top crust with a mixture of ¼ cup barley malt syrup and 2 tablespoons water.

  3. Lightly glaze the crust and return the pie to the oven.

  4. Prepare the topping by lightly mixing ½ cup whole wheat bread crumbs and ¼ cup oil.

  5. Sprinkle the topping over the pie filling and bake the pie according to the recipe.

Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Tofu
Adds protein-rich body and a firm, crumbly texture to the filling.
Potatoes
Add starch and bulk, helping the filling hold together and turn soft and moist.
Barley malt syrup
Glazing the crust adds sweetness and helps it brown richly in the oven.
Whole wheat pie dough
Forms the crusts that enclose the filling and set into a crisp, browned shell.

The step that matters

Glazing and browning the top crust. Sugars in the barley malt syrup caramelize and brown under heat, so timing the glaze around the 30-minute mark gives an even, glossy colour without scorching.

Swap the cinnamon
