Vegan Corn Pie

This Vegan Corn Pie Recipe is one of those dishes that people can’t get enough of. I’m not sure if it’s the sweetness of the corn or the amount of flavours the dish has to offer. Regardless, its my favourite pie. Growing up having Corn Pie meant that something special was happening. It was a dish my aunt Sandra would make for New Years and I always remember that was the first dish to finish.

I have fond memories of this dish I had as a child. Just like other pies, this dish can be eaten with a variety of side dishes. I love a great stewed chicken and Callaloo with it. I made it strictly vegan for some of my viewers but rest assured you are going to love this dish. Its quick, simple and does not require much work. Hope you give it a try and enjoy !

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp Cuisine Soya Bean Oil
• 1 medium Onion small diced
• 4 cloves Garlic minced
• 1 medium Carrot small diced
• 1 small Sweet Pepper small diced in green, orange and red
• 2 Pimentos
• 2 leaves Parsley
• 2 Celery stalks
• 1 can Cuisine Cream Style Corn
• 1 can Cuisine Whole Kernel Corn
• ½ cup Coconut Milk
• 1½ cups Cornmeal
• Salt To taste
• Black Pepper To taste

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease your desired dish (Note: I used a 12′ tart pan)
• In a medium pot heat oil and sauté onions and garlic for 2 minutes until tender. Add remaining vegetables and cook for another 3 minutes. Include salt and black pepper to your liking.
• Add the cream style corn and allow it to break down for 3 minutes. Next place the whole kernel corn and coconut milk. Include the cornmeal a little at a time by continuously whisking. (Note : Be sure the mixture is bubbling or boiling before adding the cornmeal. This helps the cornmeal to break down and create less lumps)
• Continue whisking the mixture until a “dough like” texture has formed. The mixture will start to move away from the sides of the pan. ( Note : Make sure the mixture is thick and firm to touch or it will not set in the oven. If the mixture is still a bit wet simply add some more cornmeal until you have reached the desired texture.)
• Place the mixture into a greased dish and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. (Note: Touch the pie to make sure its firm before removing from the oven.)
• Serve hot and enjoy!
