A subtle sweet savory light pie
Il me restait une belle courge et j’ai voulu changer de la soupe au potiron, je l’avais déja essayé dans les pâtes et en risotto mais pas en tarte, alors la voila!
There was still a butternut squash in my cellar and I wanted something different from soup, I had try it in pasta and risotto but never in pie, so here it is!
Pour équilibrer le goût sucré de la courge muscade j’ai mis des oignons et champignons, du parmesan (le comté serait encore meilleur mais je n’en avait pas) pour créer un mélange subtil.
To balance the sweet taste of the butternut squash I put some onions and mushroom, and added parmesan (but Comté is better, I didn’t have it in my fridge so I used parmesan) to create a subtle blend.
Pour changer un peu, et parce que ça se marie bien à la courge, j’ai mis du paprika dans ma pâte brisée. Ca lui donne une belle couleur et petit goût supplémentaire qui apporte une touche intéressante et un peu relevée.
I wanted a shortcrust different from usual so I put some paprika in it, for the color but because it’s a nice blend with butternut as well. It bring an interesting and nice enhanced flavour.

°Sand flour and paprika with salt and butter (with the flat batter or with your fingers).
°Once the flour is sandy add water lillte by little.

°Work the dough until it make a ball, not too long, otherwise your dough will be elastic.
°Once the ball made you have to knead it. Push forwoard on the dough with your palm. Gather the dough, turn it 1/4 of tour and do it again. This step intend to eliminate any piece of butter left in the dough and avoid it to shape holes after cooking.
