Caramelised onion and cheese pie.

I enjoy pies both as a starter and as a main dish with some side vegetables.

Here is my veganised option, I have caramelised the onions substituting sugar with agave syrup. The result is a healthier option, equally delicious.

Ingredients: (for the onions)

5/6 big onions

5/6 spoonfuls of apple vinegar

12/14 spoonfuls of agave syrup

Salt

EVO oil

Water

How to make it

First step is to peel and chop the onions in slices. Fry the onions in a pan until they start to reach a light brown colour. Add enough water to cover them, salt to taste and let cook in slow heat.

Once the water has evaporated add 6 spoonfuls of agave syrup and the same amount of vinegar. Let cook together until there is no more liquid in the pan, then add the rest of agave syrup to caramelise. Stir until they are done.

To make the pie:

I use a vegan puff pastry from Lidl. As to the cheese I have made them either with Violife slices or with Violife Greek style cheese which is similar in taste to goat cheese.

Cut the pastry in squares, put some onion and some cheese inside then make the little pies. Cook until light brown in preheated oven at 220°C. Then serve hot.
