Romianote Artichoke Pie


If you cannot find fresh artichokes, use canned ones (in water, because some brands are
rather sour) or frozen ones.
Do not forget wearing cloves when cleaning artichokes to avoid black fingers (or rub your hands with lemon)

For the dough:

500 g all-purpose flour
250 g butter or margarine
2 free-range eggs
100 g vegetarian "Parmesan", grated
4 tbsp hot water

Filling:
10 artichokes cut into four pieces
Juice from 1 lemon
10 spring onions, chopped
1 bunch dill, finely chopped
� cup olive oil
500 g feta cheese, crumbled
300 g of any vegetarian cheese
200 g cream
6 free-range eggs
100 g Mozzarella

Dough:
Mix the flour with the baking powder, add the remaining ingredients
and knead well with moist hands and leave the dough covered in the
fridge for 30 minutes.
Roll out dough and place in to a round, well-greased baking-dish.
Prick with a fork several times and bake at 180C for 15 minutes. Let
cool in the baking-dish.

Filling:
In the meantime, heat the oil in a frying pan; add the spring onions,
the artichokes, the dill, salt and pepper.
Add some water and the lemon juice and stir well. Simmer over low
heat until all the liquids have evaporated.
Leave to cool slightly and add two of the eggs and the cheese (except
of the mozzarella)
Spread mixture evenly onto the base, piling it up slightly in the
middle.
Mix the remaining two eggs with the mozzarella and spread evenly onto
the surface.

Bake at 180C for 30 minutes or until golden-brown.
