Vegan Pot Pie
Ingredients:
For the Filling:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, diced
3 carrots, peeled and diced
3 celery stalks, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup frozen corn
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups vegetable broth
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Crust:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup vegan butter, cold and cubed
1/2 cup ice-cold water
1 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
Prepare the Filling:
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté diced onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic until softened. Add mushrooms, frozen peas, and frozen corn. Stir in all-purpose flour, coating the vegetables.
Create the Sauce:
Gradually add vegetable broth and unsweetened almond milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Add dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Allow the filling to thicken. Remove from heat and set aside.
Make the Crust:
In a food processor, pulse together all-purpose flour, cold vegan butter, and salt until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly add ice-cold water until a dough forms. Divide the dough in half.
Assemble and Bake:
Roll out one half of the dough to line the bottom of a pie dish. Pour the vegetable filling over the crust. Roll out the second half of the dough to cover the filling. Seal the edges and make small slits on top for steam to escape. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
Serve and Enjoy:
Allow the Vegan Pot Pie to cool slightly before serving. Slice into this savory masterpiece and relish in the plant-based goodness that defines comfort on your plate.
