Best 4 Vegetarian Pot Pie Recipes

VEGETARIAN POT PIE

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.

VEGETARIAN "CHICKEN" POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375℉. Put vegetable stock in a pan & heat to a simmer. It must be boiling when added. Brown "chicken" in a skillet with 1T oil. Season with salt & pepper. Remove from the pan & set aside. Make a roux by melting butter, adding flour, and whisking constantly until light brown in color. Set aside. In large stock pot, cook onions in oil for 5 minutes or until they begin to become clear, then add carrots, thyme, salt & pepper. Cook another 5 minutes or so. Add boiling stock and cook another 5 minutes. Whisk in nutritional yeast. Add in the roux a bit at a time and continue to cook as the sauce thickens. Finally add the "chicken", soy sauce and peas. Remove from heat and let cool a bit. Roll out one pie crust and line a 9" deep dish pie plate. Add the cooled pie filling, and top with the second pie crust. Cut some air slits into the top crust. Bake for about an hour, or until the top is nicely browned and the filling is bubbling a bit. You could omit the bottom crust and simply use a top crust if desired. You could also make small individual pies, but limit the baking time to about half an hour if you do this. I haven't tried this, so the baking time is an estimate.

VEGETARIAN/VEGAN POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Press 1 pie crust into a pie pan.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add potatoes and carrots; boil until tender, about 15 minutes. Add broccoli and cook for another 3 minutes.
• Bring 1 cup water to a boil and stir in bouillon cube to dissolve. Stir in flour; remove from heat.
• Combine potatoes, carrots, broccoli, bouillon stock, and vegetarian strips. Pour into the pie crust. Top with the second pie crust and crimp edges to seal.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crust is lightly browned, about 20 minutes.

VEGETARIAN POT PIE

Steps:

• Remove the puff pastry sheets from the freezer and let them thaw for 30 to 40 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place one puff pastry sheet on a work surface dusted with flour and use a rolling pin to flatten out any creases. Whisk the egg with a splash of water. Cut the pastry into 4 to 6 square pieces, place on the prepared baking sheet and brush with egg wash. Bake until golden brown and puffed, about 10 minutes. Repeat with the second sheet.
• Meanwhile, in a large pot or Dutch oven over a medium-high heat, melt the butter and add the onion, celery, carrots, garlic, salt and pepper and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to soften everything.
• Stir in the mushrooms, tarragon and thyme and cook until the mushrooms are almost halved in size, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes and the 1 tablespoon flour and stir to combine. Stir in the broth and let simmer until the potatoes are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the cream and peas and cook until the mixture is nicely thickened. Remove from the heat.
• For each serving, scoop 8 to 10 ounces of the creamy pot pie mixture into a large bowl or onto a plate and top with one of the baked puff pastry pieces.
