Sun Oven Savory Solar Potato and Green Bean Pie

For my everyday cooking I usually choose a cooking method based on convenience
and results. I cook the green beans for this savory pie the way they do in Italy,
because I think they taste better, and since the potatoes cook while I’m preparing
the beans I boil them inside too. Once the pie is assembled it goes into the Sun
Oven to bake.

Equipment

• 1 All American Sun Oven
• 1 9" spring form pan
• Stove or grill To boil a pot of water
• Food processor
• Potato ricer

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• ½ lb Boiling potatoes
• 1 lb Fresh green beans
• 2 Eggs - Lightly Beaten
• 1 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Dried marjoram
• Salt and pepper To taste
• Olive oil Extra virgin
• Plain bread crumbs

Instructions

 

• Set Sun Oven out to preheat.
• Wash the potatoes, put them in a pot with enough cold water to cover them well and bring to a boil.
• Trim the green beans and soak them in a large bowl of cold water for 10 minutes.
• Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon salt. When water returns to a rapid boil, add the drained green beans. Adjust heat so that it boils at a moderate pace. Drain the beans when they are just tender and have lost their raw flavor, 6 to 10 minutes.
• Chop the beans until very fine in a food processor; do not puree.
• Drain the potatoes when tender. Peel them and pass them through a food mill or potato ricer.
• Combine beans, potatoes, eggs, salt, pepper, and marjoram in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly.
• Lightly smear the baking pan with olive oil. Sprinkle bread crumbs generously over the bottom and the sides of the pan; invert the pan to shake out excess crumbs.
• Put bean and potato mixture into the pan, distributing it evenly and leveling it with a spatula. Top with more bread crumbs and a drizzling of olive oil.
• Bake in the SO for about 90 minutes.
• Cool on a rack for about ten minutes, run a knife around the edges and carefully release the ring of the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.
