Mixed Vegetable Vegan Pot Pie
The Mixed Vegetable Vegan Pot Pie uses a medley of mushrooms, frozen mixed vegetables, tofu, and aromatic herbs cooked in a thickened vegetable broth-based sauce, all encased in a golden puff pastry crust. Baking until crisp and golden provides a hearty, savory pie with a creamy, textured filling. It’s a vegan take on a comfort food classic, suitable as a satisfying main dish.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 4 garlic minced, cloves
- 2 cups mushroom diced
- 1 pound mixed vegetables frozen
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon marjoram
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- ½ tofu diced, 16-ounce block, super firm
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- ⅓ cup of non-dairy milk
- 2 puff pastry crust thawed, store-bought
Instructions
- Over medium heat, add the oil to a large pot. Add the onion and cook for 1 minute, then add the garlic. Mix well and cook for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes.
- Add the frozen veggies, marjoram, oregano, basil,, tofu, and salt and pepper. Mix well and cook for 3 minutes.
- Add the flour and mix well. Then slowly whisk in the vegetable broth and plant-based milk.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Stretch the sheet of puff pastry to fit the bottom and sides of an 8×8 baking dish. Add the veggie filling and top with the second puff pastry sheet. Pinch the sides of the dough to create a seal. Make 4 cuts on top of the dough to allow the steam to come out.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the crust turns golden. Remove from the oven and let it sit for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can divide the filling and pastry into smaller ramekins for individual pot pies, baking for approximately 15 minutes each.
- Cut vents on the puff pastry top to release steam, which helps keep the crust crisp and prevents sogginess.
- The filling can be customized with different vegetables or seasonings according to preference, making this recipe versatile.
