Veggie Pot Pie With Rosemary Crust
Ingredients
Crust:
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup vegan butter chilled
- 3-4 tablespoons ice water
- 1 tablespoon rosemary chopped
Vegetables:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper cut into strips
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- cooked potatoes such as fingerling or new red potatoes (waxy potatoes will hold their shape when cooked)
- 1 cup cremini mushrooms stemmed, caps sliced
- ¾ cups green peas
- ¼ cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes chopped
- 2 teaspoons thyme
- salt & pepper to taste
Sauce:
- ¼ cup vegan butter
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup plant-based milk plain / unsweetened
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, or the bowl of your food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and chopped rosemary. Add the cubed butter and use a pastry cutter, or pulse, to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Slowly pour in the ice-cold water, and blend, or pulse in the food processor, until moist clumps form. Shape dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes.
Vegetables:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add peppers, onion and garlic, and cook until soft, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; sauté until just brown, about 4 minutes. Add to bowl with peppers, onions and mushrooms.
- Add the peas, potatoes, and sun-dried tomatoes and thyme to the bowl, and toss to combine.Season to taste with salt & pepper.
Sauce:
- Melt the butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in broth and milk and bring to boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and continue stirring until the mixture thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.Stir sauce into vegetable mixture.
Assembling the veggie pot pie:
- Divide the filling equally among 4 ovenproof bowls.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator, and divide into quarters. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a circle. Place the rolled dough over each of the bowls pressing the edges to seal it.
- Cut a few slits in the crust to allow steam to escape. Place the pies on a baking sheet (to prevent any drips) and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
So Yummy!😍🤤
