Lentil Pie

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound of lentils
• 1 pound of potatoes
• 1 pound of tomatoes
• 1 Spanish onion
• 1 heaped-up teaspoonful of herbs
• 3 hard-boiled eggs
• 1 1/2 ounces of butter
• pepper and salt to taste

Instructions

Have the lentils cooked beforehand. Peel, wash, and cut into dice the potatoes and onion, and fry them in the butter until nearly soft. Scald and slice the tomatoes, and mix the fried vegetables, lentils, tomatoes, herbs, and seasoning well together. Turn the mixture into a pie-dish, and pour over as much water or vegetable stock as may be required for gravy. Quarter the eggs and place them on the top. Cover with a short crust, and bake the pie for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
