.veggie pot pie.

May 20th, 2008

3/4 c. onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, grated
1 c. carrots, chopped
1 c. celery, chopped
1/2 block tofu, cut into small chunks
3/4 c. vegetable stock
1 c. peas
1 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1/4 c. & 2 tbsp margarine
1/4 c. milk

in a skillet, cook onion about 2 minutes or until tender. add garlic, carrots, and celery. cook another 4 minutes. add tofu, vegetable stock and peas. once everything is cooked through, dump mixture into an 8 x 8 inch baking dish.

in a small bowl mix together flour, baking powder and salt. add the margarine, using 2 butter knives to cut it into the flour. add the milk and mix well. divide the dough in fourths, and form into balls. slightly smash the balls and place over the veggies. cook at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes, or until biscuits are slightly browned around the edges.

as you can see, this isn’t really a pie but it works the same. i’ve always loved pot pies, the frozen kind you pop in the oven but it seemed easier to make than to try and find a vegan one. this was my first attempt, and it turned out awesome.

if you have veg gravy, replace the stock with that to make a thicker sauce.
