2. 2
   Add the onion and fry 5–8 minutes, stirring now and then, until the onion is soft and translucent and starts to turn golden at the edges. If it browns too fast, lower the heat.

   💡Add by cooking time: what needs long (onion, carrot, meat) goes in first, and what burns fast (garlic, dry spices) goes in last, only until fragrant.

To assemble

1. 3
   Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F). Grease a 26 cm pan with a little of the oil.

   ⚙ Preheating the OvenOvenBaking pan

   💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
2. 4
   Add the vegetables and fry 8–10 minutes, until it softens.

   💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.

   Let cool 10 minutes before cutting.

   💡Resting before cutting sets the pie: cut straight out of the oven, it is still soft inside and the slices fall apart.
