-------- ------------ --------------------------------
**Filling**
2 pounds yams -- (500 g)
1 piece fresh ginger root -- (2-inch/5cm)
2 cups Pureed Rice Cream -- (500 mL)
or Amasake or cooked oatmeal
4 tablespoons sesame butter -- (60 mL)
or nut butter
1/4 teaspoon sea salt -- (1 mL)
[omit if sesame butter is salted]
1/2 cup pecans -- finely chopped
[reserve a couple for garnish] -- (125 mL)
**Buckwheat Piecrust**
1/2 cup buckwheat flour -- (125 mL)
1/2 cup brown rice flour -- (125 mL)
or sweet brown rice flour
1/4 cup whole-wheat pastry flour -- (50 mL)
2 tablespoons crushed nuts -- (30 mL)
or crushed seeds
1/2 cup sunflower oil -- (125 mL)
or safflower oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt -- (2 mL)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon -- (2 mL) optional
A few tablespoons of cold water
**Buckwheat Piecrust**
Preheat oven to 375F (190C).
Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and rub oil into the flours with
your fingers. Add just enough water so that the dough holds
together but it should remain crumbly. Press into a 9-inch (23 cm)
pie pan and bake for 15 minutes.
Author's note: The beauty of this simple pie dough is that it
resembles a graham cracker crust and it doesn't have to be rolled
out! It holds up especially well under creamy fillings and puddings
or, you can use the dough as a topping for fruit desserts by simply
crumbing cooked pie dough over applesauce, fresh or dried stewed
fruit, etc.
**Yam Cream Pie**
Steam, pressure-cook or bake the yams in their jackets until soft.
Cool, then peel and mash. Peel the ginger root and grate finely.
Squeeze out the juice and discard the pulp.
Preheat oven to 375F (190C).
Mix all ingredients together until the filling is smooth and creamy.
Pour the yam filling into the baked piecrust and top with the reserved
whole pecans.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Serve hot or cold.
Makes 6 to 8 servings.
