Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup oats
  • 1 cup millet
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • ½ cup diced carrot
  • ½ cup diced celery
  • ½ cup diced potato
  • ¼ cup safflower oil
  • ¼ cup tamari sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 4 whole cloves
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 recipe pastry for a 9-inch double crust pie
  • 1 egg, beaten (Optional)
  • 1 ½ cups water

Directions

Step 1
Bring 1 cup water and oats to a boil in a saucepan; reduce heat and simmer until water is absorbed, 10 minutes. Bring 1 1/2 cups water and millet to a boil in a separate saucepan; reduce heat and simmer until water is absorbed and millet is tender, 20 minutes.

Step 2
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 3
Combine oats, millet, onion, carrot, celery, potato, safflower oil, tamari, allspice, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and black pepper together in a large bowl; mix well.

Step 4
Press 1 pie crust pastry into a 9-inch pie pan. Pour filling into pie crust. Top with second pie crust pastry; pinch edges together. Pierce a few areas of the top crust to allow pie to ventilate during baking. Brush top crust with beaten egg.

Step 5
Bake pie in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, about 40 minutes.
