- Nobody seems to know what a homity is, but I do know that homity pie is delicious. Homity pie is an open-topped pie or flan filled with potatoes, cheese, onion and leeks. Homity pie was invented during WW2 when food was rationed and meat was scarce. In the Sixties, homity pie was popularized by Cranks Vegetarian Restaurant in London. At the time vegetarianism was fairly uncommon, but these days it isn't and homity pie is one of those welcome vegetarian dishes that isn't trying to emulate a meaty version. No homities were hurt during the making of this video.

I still love your double act at the end
You do come over as happy folk lol. Thank for delivering food I would like to cook one day lol
The upturned bowl is a nifty tip . Wholemeal crust, spuds , leek and cheese, what's not to like. I had homity pie pie at a health food shop/cafe in Solihull, earl 70's, now on the to make list.
Mr Keef, about the tops of the leek, they are good to eat, just don't know why some do not eat it, A good cleaning and dicing and in the pot on a slow boil will make them tender and they make a great cream of leek soup.
This looks amazing. I don't think we Americans give leeks their due, it's so hard to find good quality leeks around here. But this, I have to make this. Thanks so much for sharing.
If you have any space for growing veg leeks are easy to grow, in the UK leeks can be harvested between September and May.
YAY!!! Thanks for the shout out KeefCooks!!! I last had this about 27 years ago in a pub I used to work in. It was on the menu. I've never seen it again anywhere on any menus. I love it!!! P.S. I'm not vegetarian either......Thanks again 😉😋👌
You're welcome Julia - thanks for requesting it!
Looks delicious, I am adding it to the stuff to cook list
Oh lawd I know we would have big laughs together if I lived next door to you because we make the same mistakes with equipment faux pas.
I know my dad would have loved that pie Keef as he loved leeks. 😍👍
Never heard of a Homity Pie before Keef, looked tasty buddy.
I had one near Powerscourt on my first trip to Ireland. It was delicious!
Sweet cooking dude, I’ll be making this tomorrow!!!!
Good to hear temperatures given in both normal and fan ovens.
I’ve just made this and it’s Fabulous Absolutely!!!
Thanks for sharing ! Wish I could show you the finished pie ! I used hoop cheddar cheese red and spring onions and it tasted so good I could eat the whole pie but cut it hot will wait now until it cools ! I love leeks but we’re out !
Stay safe and take care ! Love Bella🇺🇸🙏❤️👩🏻🍳🥮🎊🙏❤️🇬🇧
Sounds great!
Almost... Down here in Devon, Homity pies are deep filled, and made with cream not milk, usually served cold because then they don’t fall apart. My neighbour makes them along with pies and pasties for the local branch of one of the county’s best independent butchers.
What does 'deep-filled' mean?
KeefCooks you made a tart, down here we have proper deep pies🥮
@@robinturner2300 How deep is 'proper deep' then?
KeefCooks like a pork pie... a couple of inches at least for the individual ones and three for the family size.
@@robinturner2300 Ah well, I've only ever seen ones like the one I made. Maybe I'll try a trek down to Devon one day and check out your whoppers...
Aye Keef, that's a reyt good description of homity pie! It's a proper Yorkshire gem, it is. Folks might not know what a homity is, but once they try that pie, they'll be hooked. Potatoes, cheese, onion, an' leeks in an open-topped crust-what more could tha want? Grand to know it came about durin' WW2 an' got a new life in the Sixties thanks to Cranks. Vegetarian or not, everyone should give homity pie a go. No homities harmed? That gave us a good chuckle! Cheers for t'video Keef!
Thank you Keef. I made the Hommitty filling in our Ninja Foodi, beautiful. Thanks again!
I'm watching this channel in order to study English recently.
I just discovered you tonight & have really enjoyed meeting you! Can't wait to bake a Homity Pie tomorrow 😍
Greetings from Devon . I love Homity pie,I make it myself . Plus our local garden sells it in their cafe. It’s a underestimated pie, you can have with lots of things,, salad, beans, chip, jacket potatoes.
Looks yum! You two make me smile when you do your wave! Gorgious couple you are. Love Debra from Downunder xxx
@@christybright she is adorable! xxx
Wow Keef so tasty, I’ve just made one and its resting can’t wait to tuck in 👍
Lovely
You too lovebirds make my heart sing and slap a silly grin on my face for the rest of the day!
Oh, and, lovely homespun recipe, I'll be making that (and perhaps sneaking in a bit o' bacon, since I just happen to have some).
Looks great. I like your presentation style.
Great vid to watch on ve day anniversary
''too much time'' that's the problem whilst these recipes are delicious for being home made. They take a long time.
I made a leek/veg/lentil and potato bake with cheese sauce. Though divine, it took about 3 hours. Which is long and tiring.
3 hours? Not my recipe. Most recipes involve short periods of prep, longer periods of cooking when you're doing nothing, and maybe some finishing and plating up. I can't think of any meal where I've had to work at it for 3 hours solid.
Omgoodness that’s so Yummy ! I might put put some bacon bits on top !!! Lol
Really looks delish!
Handsome man , and super recipe thank you .
Fantastic.
Fave video of the day ❤️
Composting the green parts of the leak? Never. Eat'em. They're the best part of the plant.
I'll send you any more that I get - I prefer the white bit.
Looks a very nice recipe Thank you, Guys :-))
Homemade leek, awesome!!! can we get a garden tour? No homities went into this pie 😆
Garden's a bit of a mess at the moment, but maybe later in the summer.
🥺😮 compost that green leek! Wrong! Makes fantastic soup!
And if you're not planning to make leeky soup in the next week, it makes fantastic compost.
A slice of that and a fried egg would be a very nice meal for me.
The way he says vegetarian
He's a nice chap is this keef
Awww, thank you!
you forgot the garlic and cream plus it should be twice as deep
I didn't 'forget' the garlic and cream. They don't feature in any of the source recipes I used.
@@Keefcooks born and lived in Devon for over 70yrs It always has Garlic in it things like leaks, Spanish etc have been added over the years BUT in Devon, we love our Cream and its nothing like you get outside of the Westcountry.
yummm leeks cheese potatoes and onions......that cannot taste bad in any way, and im as big a carnivore as they come. The one thing id change is the pastry. Im not keen on wholemeal pastry and i dont like the way it works so id use normal shortcrust or maybe cornish pasty pastry which is a little more solid.........and theres ofc always the temptation to add a little bacon but to be honest i think this would be flavourful enough without it.
looks scrummy !! would it b ok to use plain flour in place of whole meal
Sure
That looks good. I think adding bacon would turn it into a Lorraine Pie.
Looks nice. Can I use whole wheat flour instead.
? Can’t by whole meal flour in Japan. Thanks
Yes you can!
Thanks Keith that makes it easier for me.
Looks pretty good to me keef 👍
I would like a slice of that with some vegetables along with my steak 😂
It looks delicious, but not wartime with all that butter! Please could you and other You Tube posters please remember those of us who cook by gas. Otherwise, a brilliant video.
Gas ovens - I do remember and feel sorry if you have to use one...only joking a bit. I have started giving gas marks as well as Celsius and Frankenheit in the last 6 months. Other TH-camrs I think you'll be lucky to get any kind of conversion out of most of them, but obviously I have no control over that!
@@PlanetKeef You are absolutely right. The only one I have found so far is Atomic Shrimp 's earlier ones but it looks as even he has changed to just celcius and fahrenheit
Cranks Homity Pie doesn't have leeks in it.
Noted. :-)
Quiche without eggs? Looks very good, thanks, Keef!
It's a lot more solid than a quiche Sapo
great looking pie even though i,m not a veggie perfectly home grow leek please take us for a tour of your veg plot on your vid some time ps dont know if i said it before but how about a compilation of mmm videos and one final one as mr,s keef ever sai yuk don,t like it. keef on cooking
Garden tour, maybe when it's in better shape. 'mmm videos'? Dunno. Mrs KC would never say Yuk, but she can be a bit lukewarm about some things. And there have been a few dishes that we both hated, but they obviously don't get published.
@@Keefcooks thank you
If you use hot water crust pastry would you still need to pre-bake the crust?
Yes - the hot water doesn't cook anything, it just melts the fat.
Hi keef hope you are both well
can I ask your advise I'm after a thermometer for cooking but I've been on the Lakeland web site and there are so many to choose from can you advise me on which one would be better to buy xxx
The basic one you need is a digital probe thermometer. If it says 'instant read' that's good, because the one I have takes a noticeable amount of time before displaying the temperature. I've also got an Infra Red thermometer - this is a bit like a gun that you point at a surface to get the temperature - it's good for testing oil and other stuff, but not for telling you if your chicken is done.
Ty. Keef hope Mrs keef cooks is well. Really enjoy your video. Ty xxxxxxxxxx
All i could think about was adding the bacon too! Lol
lol
@@Keefcooks I made this tonight, added my bacon LOL It was great, my Mum who is 99 and remembers the war years well ate a half on her own! Great recipe.
Adding some bacon to this pie, sounds like a cool idea!
Ooh yeah!
I'm in Texas watching ur videos. I find that I'm interested in ya'lls local dishes. I think I might try to fix one or two of them. This one & the beef & mushroom pie come to mind. Enjoy ya'lls videos. Keep up the good work.
Ah homity pie! I first made this way back in 2012 and it's so good. Mine was a larger deep filled version, but I like this one better as it's more portable. This is what vegetarian food is all about, it's tasty and doesn't try to pretend it's something that has meat in it. I bet that leek was amazing. Hot and peppery straight from the garden. Oh and I found the starving artists cookbook for Noelle, but only 3 in stock so best be quick! lol www.amazon.co.uk/Starving-Artist-Cookbook-Illustrated-First-Time/dp/1581573537
its nice you make your own pastry , i never do , hot hands best to buy it in my case , i still sick my hands in ice water to take them down for working it , and its better but , hot hands make bad pastry
see i do not waste the dark leaf , i chop it tiny and freeze it , it can be added to soups and stews , anything long cooking , the part that dried , sure you got to compost but no need to not eat the darker leaf it drops apart nicely if its cooked for a long time , my nan said they would be arrested and charged if they wasted any food in the war , just chop it julienne and then dice it too and those tiny bits are great in stew , help thicken it
we think alike , i thought , smoked ham or bacon would improve that too
I'm admittedly clueless about this but... is it vegetarian if it contains cheese? Not that I really care though, because it looks delicious.
Yes, vegetarian - no meat, vegan - no animal products
There are hardcore veggies who don't eat eggs or dairy, but most of 'em do.
A flan would NOT HAVE A CRUST....so I'm guessing a crust is NOT NECESSARY.
British-style flans DO have a crust, like a quiche. If you try to make this without one it'll probably fall apart. You may be thinking of a Spanish-style flan, which is a set custard.
KeefCooks hmm. Okay. Then yes. Falling apart isn't so bad as without crust it would be gluten free & I would be able to eat it without getting ill. But flours are getting too expensive.
You could maybe cook it the same way but without the pastry - I'm sure it would be fine, but a bit messy!
KeefCooks that's what I'm thinking. Messy's Ok. Food is important and this is a bit like a rösti I used to eat in Berne. Not as much potato & cheese but still good stuff to eat and if cooked in iron skillet instead of pie plate I think it would work. Of course it would need temps lowered about 20* after heating about 10 minutes to keep it from scorching... But I think it would do. Lol
Is it not just a flan
Technically it's a flan, but not 'just a'.
@@Keefcooks True, a food of the people.
You know, I've been watching your videos on and off for about two years now and I honestly don't understand why you haven't yet bought one of those extra large silicone mats. It's a lot easier to roll pastry/dough on them instead of using silly amounts of flour just to prevent it sticking to the unit. Then, the whole silly thing people do to transfer the pastry to the pie dish is also much easier because you can just lift the whole thing, place it as you wish on the dish and sort of peel off the silicone mat. There's also a lot less cleaning later on because the mat is easy to clean whereas without it you're often left with hardened floury bits on your counter.
Anyway... Amazon... it only costs a few quid... seriously... it's a no brainer.
LOL - it just never occurred to me! Having said that, I've never seen anyone use one for pastry or bread...
Ffs, what makes you the expert? I could not continue watching. The sight of that dirt all over the leek, then all over the prep area put me off. You baked your case without trimming it... seriously I’m out.
And good riddance. Do I claim to be an expert? It's just a bit of fun.
KeefCooks You clearly have a lot to learn. Go back to year seven home economics
Get some manners, whoever you are.
Keef, here's a late comment, but there are vintage recipes floating around suggesting that the original name from WW2 was "Comity Pie." No one seems to recall the term "comity" much, and lord knows there's little of it to be found... anywhere... but you Brits certainly seemed to be giving it a go during the privations of that time and the difficult years to come.
COMITY
kŏm′ĭ-tē
noun
An atmosphere of social harmony.
Synonyms Amenity, suavity, politeness, consideration.
Mildness and suavity of manners; courtesy between equals; friendly civility.
Good word though, even if it is in short supply.
