Comfort Food: Nostalgic Savory Pie or Tart Recipes | (2024)

Savory pie, or tart as we say in Ireland, is a perfect one-dish dinner or lunch. There's a tart for everyone in this selection of savory pies from around the internet.

Comfort Food: Nostalgic Savory Pie or Tart Recipes | (1)

Since Irish people love to make savory tarts, I hope you'll find quiches and tarts on the lunch menus of many Irish cafés and restaurants.

Ireland is also famous for Dingle Pies which are made with carrots, peas and lamb, but that's a recipe for another day.

I'm not talking about chicken pot pie, or shepherd's pie this time. This collection features some ultimate comfort food, but there's no pork, ground beef, salmon, turkey, or chicken required. Vegetables all the way this time round.

These vegetable tarts are all vegetarian, and many are made with an unusual combination of ingredients.

I hope you find your favorite here.
