Ingredients
Lentil Prep
- ½ c lentils, dry
- 1 c water
For the Crust
- 1 c whole wheat flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ c unsalted butter, cold
- ¼ c sour cream
- 3 Tbsp water, ice-cold
For the Filling
- 1 onion, diced
- 4 c butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1/2” cubes (roughly 1/2 a medium squash)
- 2 Tbsp whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp rosemary, whole
- ½ tsp ground white pepper
- ¼ tsp sage
- ¼ tsp salt
- Dash whole fennel seeds (5-7 seeds)
- 3 Tbsp white wine (Dry or fruity will work here, they will just give a slightly different flavor to the pie.)
- ¾ c vegetable broth (we prefer low sodium)
Instructions
Lentil Prep
- In a small saucepan, combine lentils and water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10-15 min, until lentils are just barely tender. Remove from heat.
For the Crust
- While the lentils are cooking mix flour and salt in the bowl of your food processor. Process to mix.
- Add butter and pulse until evenly distributed in small chunks.
- Add sour cream and pulse until combined.
- Add water, one Tbsp at a time, pulsing after each addition, just until the crust dough becomes sticky enough that it will hold together without crumbling or tearing when pressed. (It took 2 Tbsp for us.)
- Remove the dough from the processor and press into a ball. Wrap with plastic wrap and chill while continuing on with the filling.
For The Filling
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- In a large, non-stick frying pan, heat onions until they begin to soften (4-5 min). (If they begin to stick add 1 Tbsp water.)
- Add squash to the onions and continue to cook 5-7 min, until the squash begins to soften.
- Add flour and seasonings. Stir until combined.
- Pour in vegetable broth and wine. Mix well, scraping the bottom to deglaze any stuck bits. Bring mixture to a simmer.
- Add warm lentils (along with any extra water) and give the mixture a bit stir.
Finishing off the Vegetarian Pot Pies
- Place your casserole dish(es) on a foil, lined baking sheet.
- Ladle filling into your casserole dishes.
- Take the pie crust ball from the fridge and roll out, on a lightly floured surface, to about a 1/8 inch thick. (It should be approximately a 10-11” round.) Cut out the shape you need for your top crust and cut some vent holes. (This is easier to at least start while the crust is not over top of a soft filling.)
- Spray the top edge of your casserole dish with cooking spray, so your crust doesn’t stick.
- Gently, using a spatula or bench knife, move the crust to top filling. (You can gently make adjustments to your vent holes or decorations now.) Crimp edges if desired.
- Bake pies for 25-30 min, until the crust is golden and you can hear the filling bubbling.
- Let stand 5 minutes to cool and absorb any excess moisture before serving.
