Alexandra Pie Recipe

1 pint soaked haricot beans.

1 carrot.

1 turnip.

2 onions.

1/2 pint liquor.

1 ounce butter.

1/2 pound mashed potatoes.

2 ounces bread crumbs.

1 egg.

1 teaspoon salt.

1 quart water.



Slice the carrot, turnip and onions, boil them with the beans one and a

half hours, add salt and boil half an hour, strain, turn the beans and

vegetables on to a large plate and place on one side to cool. Dissolve

the butter in a frying pan, and fry the beans and vegetables until

slightly browned; turn into a pie dish, pour over the liquor which was

strained off, place in the mashed potatoes, and lastly cover with the

egg and bread crumbs well mixed. The white and yolk should be beaten

separately. Bake in a rather hot oven until a nice brown.
