⚙ Adding to the hot fat and fryingStove
💡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.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F). Grease a 24 cm pan.
⚙ 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.

Break the vegetables into small florets.

💡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.
