Veggiepotpie Recipes

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:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat and add the potatoes. Cook in gently boiling water for 10-15 minutes, until they are tender and can easily be pierced with a fork.
• Drain the potatoes in a colander.
• Divide the potatoes into two medium bowls and mash half of them. Set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the oil is shimmering.
• Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 2 minutes.
• Add the celery, corn, broccoli, carrot, mushrooms, chickpeas, parsley, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Add salt and pepper to taste, and stir.
• Add the fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs. Stir and cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly firm.
• Remove the rosemary and thyme sprigs.
• Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and mix well.
• Pour in half of the vegetable stock and stir.
• Add the nutritional yeast and stir well.
• Pour in half of the remaining vegetable stock and cook for about 2 minutes while continuing to stir.
• Incorporate the mashed potatoes and enough of the remaining stock to reach your desired consistency.
• Add the diced potatoes and stir.
• Pour the vegetable mixture into a 9-inch (23-cm) baking dish.
• Mix 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons soy milk in a small mixing bowl.
• Brush the outside edges of the baking dish with the mix using a brush or your fingers.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Place the pie crust dough over the top of the baking dish, pressing the edges to make it stick.
• Brush the top of the dough lightly with the oil-soy milk wash.
• Make a small X-shaped incision on the top of the crust.
• Bake for about 45 minutes or until the pie crust is golden.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Pie Crust: Put flour into a mixing bowl with the butter. Using a pastry cutter, cut the margarine into the flour. Add salt and water. Mix until dough is formed. Roll out on flat surface. Cut out circles to fit top of souffle dishes.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Melt margarine in large pot and add onion. Saute until transparent. Add flour and brown for about 2 minutes. Add broth and stir. Add bay leaf, carrots, celery, leek, salt, pepper, and thyme. Simmer until carrots (and potato, if using) are done.
• Stir in parsley and peas. Remove bay leaf. Using a 1 cup measuring cup, scoop into 8-ounce Souffle Dishes. Place pie dough pieces over mixture, cut X in dough, and brush with agave nectar. Place souffle cups on baking sheet.
• Bake until crust is done, about 25-35 minutes (check crust at 20). The inside will be boiling hot, so be careful!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine frozen mixed vegetables, potato, cauliflower and water. Cover and microwave on high for 8-10 minutes or until potato is almost tender; drain. Cut tofu into 1/2-in. cubes; pat dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, combine cornstarch and onion salt. Add tofu and toss to coat. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add tofu; cook until crisp and golden brown, 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from pan; drain on paper towels. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, soup, milk, thyme, pepper and salt until combined. Stir in vegetable mixture and tofu. On a lightly floured surface, roll one half of dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim even with rim. Add filling. Roll remaining dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle. Place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edge. Cut slits in top. Bake on a lower oven rack until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 45-50 minutes. Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting.

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 400°F (200°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Unroll the puff pastry and use a 4-inch (10 cm) round cutter to cut out 24 circles.
• Place half of the circles into the cavities of the prepared muffin tin. Place the remaining 12 circles on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate until ready to bake.
• Heat the grapeseed oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, celery root, and carrots and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the parsnip, sweet potato, and flour and stir to coat the vegetables with the flour.
• Add the vegetable stock, thyme, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
• Scoop a heaping tablespoon of filling into each puff pastry cup. Top with the remaining puff pastry circles, crimping the edges and pressing to fit inside each muffin cup. Brush the top of the pastry with the beaten egg.
• Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the middle position, and heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a sheet pan with foil and set aside.
• Heat a 9- to 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium high. Add the olive oil, leek, garlic and fennel, and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes, until softened. Add the potatoes, asparagus and salt, then season with black pepper and stir. Scatter with the flour and give it a quick stir to coat well. Add the stock, sour cream, chives, Dijon mustard and Gruyère, and stir until well combined. Remove from heat.
• On a lightly floured surface using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the pastry 1 to 2 inches wider than the skillet. Carefully place the puff pastry over the top of the skillet and trim any long edges, then, working quickly, tuck and fold in the edges of the pastry so it sits just inside the rim of the skillet, to create a rough border. Brush the pastry with egg wash and carefully score the top with a few slits to allow air to escape during baking.
• Place the skillet on the baking sheet and transfer to the middle rack of the oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the pastry is golden and bubbling around the edges. Let sit for 10 minutes before eating.
