Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Prepare the crust: Line a pie plate with the pastry or phyllo sheets, ensuring an even coverage at the base and edges.
-
Cook the onions: In a small non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 7 minutes or until the onions are lightly browned and caramelized.
-
Add flavor: Stir in ground cinnamon, salt, and pepper into the caramelized onions, infusing them with aromatic spices.
-
Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded corned beef and peas, breaking up the corned beef with a fork for a uniform texture. Mix in the seasoned onion mixture, ensuring even distribution of flavors throughout the filling.
-
Assemble the pie: Pour the prepared filling into the lined pie plate, spreading it out evenly. Dampen the edge of the crust with water to help seal the pie.
-
Top it off: Cover the filling with another layer of pastry or phyllo, trimming any excess dough and crimping the edges to seal the pie securely. Cut a few steam vents in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
-
Bake to perfection: Place the assembled pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top crust is beautifully golden brown and crisp.
-
Serve and enjoy: Once baked to perfection, remove the Corned Beef Torta from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. This delectable pie serves 6 to 8 hungry diners, making it an ideal centerpiece for gatherings or a comforting family meal.
