ONION PIE, ASHTON STYLE #142

Onion pie doesn't seem as appetizing as other types of pies such as "steak and kidney", pork, or many others but when I tried it I was surprized as to how flavorable it was, enough to try it again.  The following
recipe is a variation of  one that I saw before.  Please try it and judge for yourself if you think its worth making it again.

     2. pour olive oil into a lg fry pan over moderate

         crust
