Russian Carrot Tart - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 tablespoons butter
    1 cup minced onion
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 lb carrot, peeled, sliced
    1 tablespoon flour
    1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
    1/2 cup grated mild white cheese
    1 egg, beaten
    lots fresh ground black pepper
    1 tablespoon dried dill weed
    3 tablespoons wheat germ
    paprika
Preparation
    Saute the onions with a little salt in the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until tender.
    Add the carrots and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cover the skillet.
    Cook, stirring occasionally, until carrots are tender.
    Uncover and stir in flour.
    Preheat oven to 375.
    Beat the cheese and egg in a bowl.
    Stir in the carrot mixture, black pepper, and dill.
    Spread the mixture in an 8-inch pie crust (the book recommends a nut crust -- I've posted the recipe as Crunchy Nut Pie Pastry).
    Bake for 15 minutes, lower heat to 350 and bake for 30 minutes longer.
    Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.
