Vegetarian Pot Pie Recipes

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 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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Melt the butter in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat; remove 1 tablespoon to a small bowl. Add the carrots, celery and onion to the skillet; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and soy sauce; cover and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the flour; cook, stirring, 1 minute.
• Add the milk, 1 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir until the flour is incorporated. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the tofu and frozen peas; return to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
• Brush the bread with the reserved melted butter and cut into quarters. Arrange buttered-side up on the tofu mixture. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the bread is toasted, about 8 minutes.

• Remove from heat, add peas, herbs, and vinegar, red pepper flakes(if using), and garlic powder(if using) and stir to coat. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Turn filling into an 8"x8" baking dish(I've been told a 9"x13" dish works too).
• 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(if you wish, you can make a crust for the bottom too).

Let sit at least 5 minutes before serving.
• Tip:.
