A nutty crunchy peanut filling; topped with crispy cheesy golden velvety potato as you bite into this Red Dragon Pie.

A nutty crunchy peanut filling; combo of tamari, soy sauce, earthy cumin and smoked paprika, topped with crispy cheesy golden velvety potato is an assault on your senses as you bite into this Red Dragon Pie. It’s like biting into a deep intoxicating pie of whoopee. Fragrant aromas of thyme and coriander waft through. Visually and taste-wise, the potato topping nicely compliments the aduki beans and peanut filling.

Make this dish:

When ready to have a grounding yet heartening Sunday lunch
When your mates are coming over for game night and you want nosh that is warming
When it’s a cold autumn evening and you wanna lounge in front of the screen

Loved your recipe, but I left out the oats that are mixed with the potatoes, as I didn’t understand what you meant. What kind of oats? Instant Oatmeal or large flake rolled oatmeal? Please explain what type of oats and why you added it to the potatoes.

So, in the previous instructions blend together the oats and water – this will dissolve the oats. Oats are the wholegrain rather than oatmeal which is the processed.
Hope that helps.
