Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 400°.
• 2 lightly grease 10" deep dish pie plate.
• 3 wash spinach.
• 4 place spinach in large skillet with just the water that's clinging to the leaves.
• 5 cook, covered over low heat, until it just starts to wilt (about 2 minutes).
• 6 add corn and carrots and set aside.
• 7 in a small pan, cook onion until soft.
• 8 transfer to a large bowl and add spinach, corn, and carrot mixture, beans, cheeses, eggs, salt and pepper.
• 9 stir until cheeses are evenly mixed throughout.
• 10 set aside.
• 11 to make pie crust:.
• 12 in a food processor using the blade attachment, mix the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and baking soda until blended.
• 13 add butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• 14 with the food processor running, pour the buttermilk into the feed tube and into the dough.
• 15 stop the machine as soon the dough begins to pull away from the sides.
• 16 allow dough to rest for two minutes.
• 17 transfer the dough onto a floured work surface and knead 4 or 5 times before patting it into a circle.
• 18 roll the dough out into a large enough circle to line the pie plate, with room to fold over the top of the filling (about 14" in diameter).
• 19 carefully place the rolled dough into the greased pie plate (don't worry if it falls apart a little, you'll be able to patch it up easily), allowing the edges to fall over the sides of the plate.
• 20 spread the filling over the pastry, then fold overhanging edges of pastry over the filling, patching up where necessary.
• 21 using a knife, cut two 2" slits in the top of the pastry.
• 22 bake on cookie sheet for 45 minutes.
• 23 allow to stand for ten minutes before cutting and serving.
