Crust For Veggie Pot Pie Food

CRUST FOR VEGGIE POT PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Mix 2 cups flour and salt with vegetable shortening using pastry blender. Mix in 6 to 8 tablespoons ice water and stir until mixture forms a ball. Divide ball in half.
• Using a rolling pin, roll one of balls to fit the bottom and sides of an 11x7 inch baking dish. Roll out the other half of dough to form top crust.
• Use this pie crust as directed in your favorite pie recipe.

CREAMY VEGETABLE POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425ºF.Heat oil in a large high-sided sauté pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, add mushrooms and onion; cook 7 to 8 minutes, until soft. Stir in garlic, thyme, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper; cook 1 more minute, until aromatic.
• Sprinkle flour over vegetable mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 2 full minutes, stirring occasionally, to eliminate raw flour taste. Pour in milk and vegetable broth, and whisk continuously until smooth. Increase heat and bring mixture to a simmer; continue to let bubble until thickened, about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add frozen vegetables, white beans, and Parmesan (or nutritional yeast); stir until everything is well-combined. Turn off heat.
• Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or 9-inch deep-dish pie plate with cooking spray. Transfer vegetable pot pie filling to the pan, and spread to create an even layer.
• Roll the pie dough into a circle large enough to cover your dish. Carefully place the dough over the baking dish so that it hangs over the sides. Trim the overhang to 1/2 inch larger than edge of the dish. Gently press the dough onto the sides of the dish so that it sticks, and use the prongs of a fork to crimp the edges. Brush dough with the egg wash, and use a sharp knife to cut 4 slits in the top. Transfer pan to the oven, and bake for 25 minutes, until the top is golden and filling is bubbly.Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra thyme leaves, if desired.

VEGAN POT PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• If making your own crust, start that now. Cook the filling while the pie crust rests in the fridge. (Pie crust cooking time is not included in the pot pie cooking time.)
• In a large pot or dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add in the onion, celery, and carrots. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add in the peas, broccoli, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle in the flour. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until the flour coats the vegetables. Slowly pour in the milk while stirring. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted. Remove from the heat.
• Roll out the puff pastry. For easy sizing of the crust, place the ramekins or pie plate on top of the dough and cut around the bases.
• Ladle the filling into 4 ramekins or soup crocks and top each ramekin with puff pastry. Press the dough to the outer sides of the dish to seal. Use the same method with the pie pan, but with only one large round.
• Brush with egg wash or vegan egg wash. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and a sprig of thyme. Bake until the puff pastry is golden brown, about 30-45 minutes. Let the pot pie rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

VEGGIE POT PIE WITH CORNMEAL PIE CRUST

Steps:

• For the crust: Combine the flour, cornmeal, and salt in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse just until it resembles coarse crumbs.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and 2 tablespoons ice water. With the processor running, drizzle in the yolk mixture. The dough should just come together. If it looks dry add more water, up to 4 tablespoons.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until it comes together; it will be stiffer than a regular pie crust because of the cornmeal. Divide into four pieces, press into discs, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the filling: Toss the potatoes, yam, parsnips, celery and mushrooms with 4 tablespoons oil.
• Season with salt and pepper and spread evenly on a baking sheet. Roast, tossing once halfway through, until golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes. You don't want to cook these all the way though since they will cook more in the pot pie. (They should be al dente, but starting to get some color.)
• Combine the flour and remaining 4 tablespoons oil in a saucepan over medium heat and cook until smooth and bubbly like pancake batter, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the mushroom broth. Simmer until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Season to taste and remove from the heat.
• Add the roasted veggies to the mushroom broth along with the peas, thyme, rosemary and sherry vinegar. Divide the filling among four 8-ounce ramekins.
• Remove the dough from the fridge and roll each into a 5-inch disc. Wet the rim each ramekin and lay a crust over the top. Poke each 5 or 6 times with a fork and place in the oven. Bake until the crust is golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.

VEGETARIAN POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Spray a 10-12 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. Remove one puff pastry sheet from the freezer to thaw while you prepare the filling.
• Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions, carrots, celery, potatoes. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are slightly tender.
• Add the mushrooms, garlic, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir for 3 more minutes until the mushrooms are softened.
• Sprinkle the flour over the cooked vegetables and stir well to combine.
• Add the vegetable stock and slightly increase the heat. Cook 5-7, minutes, stirring frequently until the mixture reaches a low boil and thickens.
• Whisk in the heavy cream until the mixture is thick and creamy.
• Remove from heat and fold in the frozen greens beans.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Unfold the puff pastry and carefully place it in the center of the pan on top of the vegetable filling. Drape the pastry over the edges of the pan. Brush the pastry with an egg wash (1 egg whisked with 1 tbsp water).
• Bake for 25-30 minutes until the crust is golden brown. Let the pie rest for 5 minutes before serving in bowls. Enjoy!

BISCUIT VEGETABLE POT PIE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl or use a food processor. Add the cold butter and cut into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter or pulse several times in the processor. Cut/pulse until coarse crumbs form. Add 1 cup (240ml) milk (reserve the rest for brushing on dough in step 4), and then stir/pulse until the dough comes together. Dough will be very shaggy and a little wet. If it's too dry, fold in another Tablespoon of milk. If it's too wet, fold in another Tablespoon of flour. With generously floured hands, shape biscuit dough into 8-9 1-inch thick discs. The amount of biscuits you need (and their diameter) depends on the size and shape of the baking dish you're using for the pot pie. Dough is sticky, so keep your hands floured. Biscuits don't have to be perfect or neat. Place shaped biscuits on a lined plate or baking pan, cover tightly, and refrigerate until ready to use in step 4 or for up to 2 days.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet, pot, or 11-12 inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, mushrooms, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until vegetables have softened and released some liquid. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and thyme until flour has absorbed all the liquid. Stir in the broth and 1/2 cup (120ml) milk. Cook and simmer for 7-9 minutes or until thickened into a thick soup-like consistency. Stir in the mixed vegetables and parsley, and then remove from heat. Taste and add more salt, pepper, thyme, or parsley to taste if desired. Cool for 5 minutes.
• As it's cooling, preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
• Pour filling into greased 2.5 - 3 quart baking dish or 9-inch deep dish pie dish that's 2 inches deep. Arrange cold biscuits on top, squeezing them in as necessary to fit. Brush the tops of the biscuits with remaining 2 Tablespoons (30ml) milk.
• Bake for 25 minutes, and then keeping the pot pie in the oven, turn oven up to 425°F (218°C) and bake for 5-6 more minutes or until biscuits are golden brown on top.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Reheat as desired.

Steps:

• Place rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9-inch pie dish with baking spray. Set aside.
• Heat a large Dutch oven or similar deep, heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter. Once hot, add the mushrooms and cook for 6 minutes, until mushrooms are beginning to brown, stirring occasionally. Add the celery, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms have browned more deeply and the celery begins to soften, about 3 additional minutes.
• Sprinkle the flour over the top of the vegetables and cook 2 minutes, until the white disappears (the vegetables will seem dry). Slowly pour in the almond milk, adding a few splashes at a time, stirring constantly. Bring to a low boil, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Continue to let bubble until thickened, about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring very often and scraping a spatula along the bottom of the pot to prevent sticking. Stir in the beans, peas and carrots, onions, thyme, and vinegar. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pie dish.
• Roll the pie dough into a circle large enough to cover your dish. Brush the edges of the pie dish with the egg wash, then lay the dough over the top so that it overhangs the sides. Trim the overhang to a 1/2 inch larger than edge of the dish. Gently press the dough onto the sides of the dish so that it sticks, then brush all over with the remaining egg wash. With a sharp knife, cut 5 slits in the top.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment and place the pie dish on top. Bake until the pie is hot and bubbly on the inside and the crust is deeply golden, about 20 to 25 minutes, rotating the pan 180 degrees F halfway through. Let rest a few minutes. Serve hot.
