Feed The Resistance: Hippie Pie is paired with Spaten Oktoberfest Beer!

 

The Willy Street Fair is this weekend, so this seemed like a good time for a little tribute to Madison’s hippies!  Hippie Pie is a take on a recipe from a cookbook that we’ve talked about before – “The Moosewood Cookbook” by Mollie Katzen.  This version has a few tweaks, but it’s pretty true to the original.  What’s not true to the original – as you’ll see from the pictures, is that I burnt the crust.  Even with the burnt crust, this is a great savory vegetarian pie.

Dee decided to pair this with Spaten’s Oktoberfest – matching the flavors of the cheese and caramelized onions with the caramel flavors of the beer.
