This dish is a typical hearty, healthy comfort food. It is very popular food in our family. All ingredients are right out your finger tips. And the most important thing is that it is simple and delicious.
这是一道典型的健康,可口的晚餐。在我家非常受欢迎。 需要的材料,配料都是日常备用的。无需特别购买。最重要的是简单又美味。



First, let's make filling since I call it pie. J Get your ingredients together. As you know, I strongly recommend good ingredients in the cooking. It makes huge different as you know.

1 lb Grass fed ground beef
1 tbsp olive oil
1 pint of kennel corn ( I canned my own corn. You can use store bought if you like. Make sure it is not the cream style)
1 pint of canned Italian stewed tomato (I canned my own tomatoes. You can use store bought stewed tomato if you like. You also can use fresh tomato, too. About 1 large or two medium)
1 green pepper ,
half hot pepper
half of onion
2 stalk of celary
1 clove of garlic
2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp thyme
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chilli pepper
Sea Salt and pepper

The picture show the homemade canned tomato is in quart size. I used half of the bottle. Not all.

既然我称这道菜为 pie,那么首先来做 filling 吧。把配料准备好。如大家所知,我总是推荐选择质量好的材料. 这样一来做出的味道会大不相同。
1磅 走地牛肉馅
一大勺橄榄油
1 pint 玉米粒罐头, 我用的是自己家做的玉米粒罐头,也可以用商店买来的。注意用粒状的,不是玉米糊哟
1 pint 意大利番茄罐头.  我用的是自己家做的意大利番茄罐头。也可以用商店买来的。把汁倒掉。如果用新鲜的,需要1个大的番茄,或者2个中型的。
一只青艽
半只辣椒,喜欢辣的可以用整只
半只洋葱
2条芹菜
一瓣大蒜
2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 茶勺孜然
1 勺辣椒粉
海盐和胡椒

图中是自己家做的意大利番茄罐头是 quart size,只用了一半,没有都用掉。


Heat a cast iron pan to medium high. Add 1 table spoon of olive oil and brown the ground beef. Season the beef with fresh grounded pepper and all other seasonings except salt.
Add onion, green pepper and hot pepper and sauté for 1 minute.
Drain the corn. Add corn to skillet and sauté

Skillet 加热,加一勺橄榄油,煎牛肉馅,加入所有的调味品,海盐除外。加洋葱,青椒,辣椒,炒1分钟。加入空干的玉米粒。 注意:如果用商店买来的玉米粒,一定要水冲干静再空干。因为买来的含好多盐和防腐剂。


Add canned tomato. Sauté for another 3 or 4 minutes. Add salt to season.
加入意大利番茄罐头(尽量空出汁),再炒3或4分钟。加入盐调好味。


In the meantime, make polenta crust:
2 cup water
3/4 cup grits
2 tsp butter
1/2 of sea salt
In a heavy bottom pan, heat a cup of water to boil.
Add grits in the pan and stir.
Cover the pan and low the temperature to low. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Stir in butter and sea salt.
Scoop the polenta on top of fillings. See picture below.
Bake the pie in pre heated oven at 400F for 20 minutes.

在做上面的程序中,可以同时做 polenta crust:
2杯水
 3/4杯粗玉米面
 2小勺奶油
1/2 勺海盐

用一个厚底锅,将2杯水烧开。
加入3/4杯粗玉米面并搅匀。
盖上锅盖炉火调至最低档。煮5到10分钟。隔几分钟搅一次预防粘锅。
煮好的会很厚。煮好后加入2小勺奶油,1/2勺海盐并搅匀。用橡胶铲乘出扑在 filling 的上面,见下图.
然后将整个 pie 放入提前加热好的烤箱中,400度烤20分钟

大功告成!
