This is a dish I made for the $5.00 Challenge for Slow Food Maui. It is made from all local ingredients here on Maui. It is easy and great for a whole family. It serves 5-6 people with a winning combination of high fiber carbs, protein and healthy fats. It is colorful and gluten free. Best part is that is tastes sensational!

½ cup red pepper (chopped fine)
6 oz soft goat cheese (from Surfing Goat Dairy)
¼ cup coconut or macadamia nut oil

Pre-boil potatoes and let cool. When cooled and peeled, grate them with a hand grater to prepare them for the crust. Should yield about 3 cups.

Mix carmalized onions and potatoes together and press firmly into pie pan all the way up the sides and onto the rim.
Baste the crust with a couple teaspoons of coconut oil, spreading evenly on the bottom and around the sides.
In large bowl, mix the eggs, spinach, red peppers, cilantro, salt and a pinch of cayenne. Pour into potato crusted pie pan.
