• Add the frozen and fresh vegetables, and cook for 5 minutes, until the veggies start to soften.
• Add the flour and vegetable stock, season with salt and pepper, and mix in the fresh parsley.
• Leave to cook for a further 5 minutes, until the liquid begins to thicken. Remove from the heat and leave to cool completely.
• Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahnrenheit).
• Distribute the veggie mixture between the oven-safe pots (or any baking dish you use), and sprinkle semolina over.
• Beat the egg, then brush the edges of the dishes with it, then cut the shortcrust pastry to form lids of each of the dishes you use.
• Press gently with your fingers, so that the pastry fits well around the pots.
• Use a sharp knife to cut steam vents on top of the lids, then brush with more egg wash, and bake for about 20 minutes or until golden.

VEGETABLE POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter and cook thyme, garlic, leeks, and carrots. Cook until vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. Generously season with salt and pepper. Add flour and continuously whisk until golden and well incorporated. Add vegetable broth and milk alternatively, whisking until mixture is smooth.
• Bring pot to a boil and add peas, mushrooms, and potatoes. Cook 10 to 15 minutes until mixture begins to thicken. Transfer to a pie or casserole dish.
• Carefully roll out puff pastry with rolling pin to smooth any creases. (If pastry cracks, dab with a little water and roll to keep together.) Lay pastry over dish and trim any excess dough. Tuck pastry into filling and cover completely. Cut steam vents in top of pastry with a sharp knife. Brush all over with egg wash.
• Place baking dish on a baking sheet and bake until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve immediately.

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.

INDIVIDUAL VEGETARIAN POT PIES

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 400°F and place 6, 8-ounce ramekins on a baking sheet for later (you can grease if desired, but I don't find it necessary). Remove puff pastry from freezer and let thaw while preparing the filling.
• In a large Dutch oven or stockpot, heat butter and heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and diced potato; cook for 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and mushroom. Let cook for another 3-4 minutes until fragrant. Stir in red pepper flake, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
• Whisk in flour, continue stirring for 1-2 minutes. Whisk in vegetable stock until flour is mixed in thoroughly; add bay leaf. Simmer the mixture for approximately 8 minutes. Add frozen vegetables and simmer for an additional 2 minutes. Remember to taste test for salt and pepper levels (or herbs if you want more!). Remove bay leaf before transferring the filling.
• Prepare egg wash by whisking together egg and water. Fill ramekins with pot pie filling, filling about 3/4ths of the way full, leaving some room for expansion during baking.
• Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each puff pastry sheets into four squares. Score the tops by making two small cuts so air can escape. Place each square on top of each ramekin, pressing down and folding the edges over the ramekin. Brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle flakey sea salt if desired.
• Bake the ramekins on the baking sheet (to catch any overflow) for 20-22 minutes until puff pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly and hot. Let cool slightly before serving.

VEGETABLE POTPIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. For filling, in a 4-qt. saucepan cook mushrooms, carrots, and celery over medium 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding water, 1 to 2 Tbsp. at a time, as needed to prevent sticking. Add 3 cups of the broth, the squash, onions, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 5 minutes or until vegetables are nearly tender. Stir in chickpeas, peas, and corn.
• Whisk together flour and the remaining ¼ cup broth; stir into vegetables. Cook until thick and bubbly, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Remove and discard bay leaf. Season filling with salt and pepper. Spread into a 2½- to 3-qt. round or oval baking dish.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll Homemade Oil-Free Pizza Dough into a circle or oval slightly larger than the dish. Cut several slits in dough; place on filling and seal. Brush with milk. Bake 15 minutes or until crust is browned and filling is bubbly.

EASY VEGETABLE POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• If you're using frozen puff pastry, remove from the freezer to let it begin to thaw.
• In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam.
• Add the onion and carrot and cook for 2 minutes
• Add the potatoes, season with salt (I added about 1/2 tsp at this point) and continue to cook for about 6 minutes.
• Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables to coat and continue cooking for 1 minute.
• Add the milk and broth and continue stirring until smooth.
• Bring to a simmer and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until it's started to thicken.
• Remove from heat and add the peas, parsley, and additional salt. (I added another 1/2 tsp here but you might have to taste to see.)
• Pour into an 8×8 baking dish and cover with puff pastry.
• Slice a few slits in the pastry to help it vent.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, uncovered until the crust is golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.

HERBED VEGAN VEGETABLE POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Now, in a large oven safe pot, heat the vegan butter on medium high. Stir to melt. Once the butter has melted, sprinkle the flour into the pot. Whisk to combine with the butter to form a paste(roux).
• Next, pour the vegetable broth, non-dairy milk and Dijon into the pot. Whisk to combine everything. Making sure the roux is completely incorporated and no lumps are left. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Bring to a simmer, then add the chopped potatoes. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer until the potatoes are soft. About 8-10 minutes. The liquid should get nice and thick. Stir occasionally.
• In the meantime, heat the olive oil on medium high in a non stick skillet. Then add the garlic and carrots. Saute reducing heat as needed for 1-2 minutes to soften the carrots.
• Next, add the peas and spinach to the carrots, and continue to saute for another 1-2 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Turn the heat off.
• Once the potatoes are soft enough that you can smash them with a fork, and the liquid is thick, add the other vegetables from the skillet to the pot. Stir to combine. Turn off the heat.
• Season with another pinch of salt and pepper. Then add the green onions and parsley to the pot and stir. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• Now, you can either leave everything in the pot and bake it in that, or transfer to something you want to bake it in.
• Then, take a piece of phyllo dough and crumple it up so it looks kind of like a flower, then place it on top of the filling. Repeat until the whole top is covered.
• I recommend making sure you don't get the phyllo dough too thick, and that it is just laying on top and doesn't go down into the filling or it won't bake all the way.
• Now, brush the top of the phyllo with a little bit of olive oil. Then bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until the phyllo dough is baked through and brown. Serve immediately.

VEGETABLE POT PIE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and fennel and saute until translucent, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the flour, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 3 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Slowly add the stock, Pernod, saffron, salt, and pepper, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the heavy cream and season to taste. The sauce should be highly seasoned.
• Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 10 minutes. Lift out with a sieve. Add the asparagus, carrots, and squash to the pot and cook in the boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain well. Add the potatoes, mixed vegetables, onions, and parsley to the sauce and mix well.
• For the pastry, mix the flour, salt, and baking powder in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Add the shortening and butter and mix quickly with your fingers until each piece is coated with flour. Pulse 10 times, or until the fat is the size of peas. With the motor running, add the ice water; process only enough to moisten the dough and have it just come together. Dump the dough out onto a floured board and knead quickly into a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic and allow it to rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Divide the filling equally among 4 ovenproof bowls. Divide the dough into quarters and roll each piece into an 8-inch circle. Brush the outside edges of each bowl with the egg wash, then place the dough on top. Trim the circle to 1/2-inch larger than the top of the bowl. Crimp the dough to fold over the sides, pressing it to make it stick. Brush the dough with egg wash and make 3 slits in the top. Sprinkle with sea salt and cracked pepper. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling hot.

VEGETARIAN POT PIE

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.

VEGETARIAN MUSHROOM POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a large (approximately 9-inch by 13-inch size) baking dish by greasing it with butter or cooking spray. Set aside.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil and butter.
• Add the onions and garlic and saute until the onions soften and become slightly translucent.
• Add the mushrooms and continue to saute until the mushrooms begin to brown slightly and become nice and soft. The mushrooms will release some liquid, but continue cooking as it evaporates.
• Add the thyme and salt and pepper and stir to combine.
• Once the mushrooms begin to caramelize, add the red wine and stir well, scraping any caramelized bits off the bottom of the pan. Continue to cook as the wine cooks off, until there's almost no liquid left.
• When the liquid is gone, add the flour slowly, stirring so the white of the flour begins to disappear and form a paste over the mushroom mixture.
• Add the stock slowly, stirring well as it cooks to create a thick, creamy sauce.
• Stir in a pinch of nutmeg.
• Scrape the mushroom mixture into the prepared baking dish and top it with one sheet of puff pastry, tucking the edges of the puff pastry under to form a crust around the edges of the pan.
• Using your fingers, shape the edges into a soft, fluted shape (press the pastry with your right index finger in between your left thumb and index finger to create this shape).
• Dock the pastry topping with a fork in several places, or use a knife to make slits in the top. This will help the air escape while it's baking and keep the pastry in place as it bakes.
• Whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash and brush it all over the top of the uncooked pastry.
• Top with some flaky sea salt.
• Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit or until the pastry is golden brown.
• Serve hot from the oven (let stand for about 5 minutes before serving) with a sprinkling of fresh thyme leaves on top.

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!

VEGETARIAN POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and let sit for 3 minutes, without stirring. Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic and thyme. Let cook 2 more minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are tender. Remove to a plate and set aside.
• Return the skillet to medium heat and add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the carrots, onion, celery and salt and pepper. Let cook 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly tender. Add the flour and stir well to combine. Cook 2 more minutes. Add the vegetable stock and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches a low boil and thickens. Pour in ½ cup of heavy cream, white beans, ½ cup of grated parmesan cheese and the reserved mushrooms. Stir well to combine, season with salt and pepper, if desired, and remove from the heat.
• Carefully transfer the skillet to a sheet tray lined with foil. Unfold the puff pastry and carefully place it in the center of the skillet over top of the pot pie filling (draping over the edges of the skillet). Brush the pastry all over with the remaining 1 tablespoon of heavy cream. Sprinkle with extra parmesan cheese, thyme leaves and black pepper.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top crust is golden brown and the mixture is bubbly. Let rest 5 minutes, then scoop into bowls and serve.

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.

VEGETARIAN POT PIE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
• Melt butter over medium heat in a 3- to 4-quart Dutch oven or heavy bottomed saucepan. When it foams, add fennel, onions, and carrots, and cook until just soft and onions are translucent, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and potato, season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and stir to coat. Cook, stirring rarely, until mushrooms have let off water and are shrunken, about 6 minutes.
• Sprinkle flour over vegetables, stir to coat, and cook until raw flavor is gone, about 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully add broth and milk, stirring constantly until mixture is smooth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat, add peas, herbs, and vinegar, and stir to coat. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Turn filling into an 8 by 8-inch baking dish.
• Whisk egg together with 2 teaspoons water and a pinch of salt until evenly mixed. Set aside.
• With kitchen shears, cut dough to fit over the baking dish. Place dough over filling and tuck into the edges of the dish. Brush dough with egg wash and cut slits in the top to vent. Place on a baking sheet and bake until crust is golden brown and mixture is bubbling, about 25 to 30 minutes. Let sit at least 5 minutes before serving.

VEGAN VEGETABLE POT PIE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine all of the dried ingredients for the crust.
• Stir with a fork while slowly drizzling in the olive oil.
• Then, ¼-½ c at a time, pour in the water and knead by hand until you get a firm, moist dough.
• Form into a ball, set it in a bowl and chill it in the refrigerator.
• While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 400 degrees and bring the broth to a boil in a saucepan.
• Turn the heat to medium-low and slowly sift in the flour while whisking the broth.
• When the last of the flour is in, the broth should be much thicker.
• Turn off the heat and set aside.
• Take the dough out of the refrigerator and lightly dust the work surface with flour.
• Split the dough in half (slightly bigger chunk for the bottom crust).
• Roll out the dough until it's 2-3 inches wider than the pie plate.
• Lightly coat the plate in oil and dust with flour.
• Lay the crust in the plate and make sure it is evenly covering the plate.
• Put the frozen vegetables into the pie in an even layer.
• Cover with the gravy and sprinkle with the seasonings.
• Roll out the rest of the dough and cover the pie.
• Trim off the excess crust and seal shut by pressing with a fork all the way around the edge.
• Make a few puncture holes in the top of the crust to vent any steam.
• Place the pie in the oven for 40 minutes, or until the edges are brown and the top is dry.
• Let cool for at least ten to fifteen minutes before cutting. This will allow the gravy to thicken up a bit.
• Cut into the pie and check. If the gravy is still pretty thin and soupy, let it cool for a while longer.
