Crust For Veggie Pot Pie Recipes

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.

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.

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.

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the onion and carrots and cook 5 minutes, or until the onions begin to turn translucent.
• Add the garlic, celery, and mushrooms and cook another 5 minutes, or until tender.
• Add the salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and arrowroot starch. Stir to combine.
• Add the lemon juice, vegetable broth, almond milk, broccoli, and chicken. Stir to combine. Add more arrowroot, if necessary, to reach desired thickness. Remove mixture from heat and allow to cool.
• Preheat the oven to pie crust or biscuit package specification.
• To make one family-style pie: Place one pie crust into an ungreased 9-inch (23-cm) pie dish. Fill with the vegetable mixture. Top with the second pie crust, folding under any excess crust and crimping the edges with a fork.
• Brush the crust evenly with beaten egg. Cut a few slits in the top crust.
• Bake according to pie crust packaging.
• Cut and serve warm.
• To make individual pies: Arrange 6 or more ramekins or bowls on a baking sheet.
• Scoop the vegetable mixture into the ramekins.
• Top each ramekin with 1 uncooked biscuit.
• Bake according to biscuit packaging.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a 3 qt saucepan over medium heat, heat the olive oil, and in it cook the potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, green beans, and celery until tender, stirring occasionally.
• Mix the flour and milk in a measuring cup.
• Stir into the saucepan along with the chicken broth, salt, tarragon, and pepper.
• Bring to a boil over high heat.
• Reduce the heat to low; cover and simmer 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
• Spoon the vegetable mixture into four 2 cup aluminum pie plates or other ovenproof casseroles or containers.
• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• In a medium bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, butter, egg, and parsley.
• Top each container with some of the potato mixture, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
• Bake 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Heat oil in a large skillet or saucepan. Cook onions, mushrooms, and garlic in oil for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in carrots, potatoes, and celery. Stir in cauliflower, green beans, and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then turn heat down to a simmer. Cook until vegetables are barely tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch, soy sauce, and 1/4 cup water until cornstarch is completely dissolved. Stir into vegetables, and cook until sauce thickens, about 3 minutes.
• Roll out 1/2 of the dough to line an 11x7 inch baking dish. Pour the filling into the pastry lined dish. Roll out remaining dough, arrange over the filling, and seal and flute the edges.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the crust is brown.

Steps:

• heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8 x 8 inch baking dish.
• In a large bowl, combine soup, sour cream, 1/4 cup milk, and seasonings. Stir in vegetables and chicken. Spoon mixture into prepared baking dish; set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine Bisquick, seasonings, and half of the cheese. Add remaining 1/2 cup milk, stirring until well mixed. Spread batter over filling, sprinkle with remaining cheese, and place in oven for 30-40 minutes or until crust is golden.
