HUNZA PIE

A flavoursome spinach, cheese and rice pie, wrapped in moreish wholemeal short pastry. This is a recipe I have been refining for years, finally arriving at the perfect combination of nutty brown rice, three cheeses and spinach. Supposedly originating in the Hunza Valley in Asia, this was a popular "hippy" dish in the 60's.
