Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 21

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound cauliflower, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 leek, cut into 1/2-inch rounds
1 carrot, cut into 1/2 inch slices
½ pound mushrooms, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups soy milk
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon
½ teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
½ teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard

Tips:

  • When preparing the vegetables, use a sharp knife and cutting board to ensure even slices. Consider using a food processor for consistent results, especially when dealing with large quantities.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still have a slight crunch. Steaming or roasting are recommended cooking methods to preserve their texture and nutrients.
  • Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to enhance the flavor of the pie. Consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or cumin for a warm touch, or incorporating fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for a fragrant aroma.
  • For a cheesy variation, sprinkle some grated cheddar or mozzarella cheese over the top of the pie before baking. This adds an extra layer of flavor and gooey texture.
  • Serve the pie warm, ideally fresh out of the oven. Accompany it with a side salad or soup for a complete meal. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.

Conclusion:

With its vibrant colors, delightful flavors, and versatile serving options, the carrot and cauliflower pie is a culinary delight that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Its simplicity in preparation and abundance of nutritious ingredients make it an excellent choice for health-conscious individuals and families alike. Whether you're looking for a hearty main course or a satisfying side dish, this pie delivers both nourishment and taste in every bite. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and embark on a culinary journey that celebrates the goodness of fresh vegetables, wrapped in a golden-brown pastry crust.
