Recently, I found myself craving home-made comfort food- Veggie Pot Pie. It was 45 degrees<br />
which is nearly freezing in the mind of a Floridian. This concoction hit the spot and although it is<br />
fully plant-based, it is simple enough to make it into a non-vegan version. Just mix in baked<br />
chicken and top with sprinkled cheese. Valentine’s day dinner? I think yes.<br />
Ingredients<br />
-1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil<br />
-½ chopped white onion<br />
-2 cloves minced garlic<br />
-1 cup cubed gold potatoes<br />
-2 cups frozen mixed<br />
vegetables (peas, carrots,<br />
green beans, corn, etc.)<br />
-4 tbsp all-purpose flour<br />
-4 tbsp vegan butter<br />
-1 ½ cup vegetable broth<br />
-Salt and pepper to taste<br />
-1 tub Original Bitchin’ Sauce<br />
(can find at Target, Sprouts,<br />
Whole Foods, and more)<br />
1 tin crescent roll dough<br />
Instructions<br />
1.Preheat oven to 400 degrees F<br />
2.To a skillet, add chopped onion, garlic, and olive oil. Sauté until onion is nearly translucent<br />
3.Add cubed potatoes and continue to sauté for 4-6 minutes<br />
4.Add frozen vegetables and stir<br />
5.Add butter<br />
6.Once butter is melted, add flour, and stir quickly to avoid lumps in the mixture<br />
7.Add vegetable broth and allow mixture to boil and thicken<br />
8.Season with salt and pepper, mix, and remove from heat<br />
9.Pour mixture into a round pie pan<br />
10. Spread Bitchin’ Sauce on top of the filling<br />
11. Roll crescent roll dough over the sauce and vegetables and seal along the edges using<br />
your finger<br />
***Tip: Have fun and be creative with your dough. For valentine’s day, make a heart out of it.<br />
You really cannot go wrongJ<br />
12. Bake for 25 minutes and enjoy!<br />
