Ingredients

PIE CRUST

FILLING

  • ½ Tbsp oil
  • 1 medium (85 g) onion diced
  • 10 oz (280 g) fresh mushrooms or 4 oz (110 g) canned
  • ½ cup (80 g) corn fresh or canned
  • 1 ½ cup (180 g) carrot diced
  • 1 ½ cup (160 g) green beans cut into pieces
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 cup (190 g) peas canned or frozen
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme
  • ½ tsp fresh rosemary
  • cup (40 g) cornstarch (see notes)
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) vegetable broth
  • 1 cup (240 ml) plant-based milk
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) dry white wine optional (use less broth if using wine)

Instructions

  • I recommend measuring the ingredients in grams on a kitchen scale. Check out the easy-to-follow step-by-step process shots above in the blog post.

PIE CRUST

  • Mix the ground flax seeds with ¼ cup water in a small bowl and set aside for 5 minutes.
  • Combine all the pie crust ingredients in a food processor; pulse until it forms a dough.
  • Wrap it in cling film and chill in the fridge.

FILLING

  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet/pan (or 9-inch oven-safe pan). Meanwhile, mince the garlic, dice the onion and carrots, and chop the green beans (1/2-1 inch long).
  • Sauté the onion for 1-2 minutes, then add the remaining vegetables (except peas) and garlic. Sauté for 10 minutes.
  • Add the spices and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir in the broth, cover, and simmer for 8 minutes. Add the peas.
  • Preheat the oven to 390F/200C. Meanwhile, mix the milk and cornstarch until smooth.
  • Stir it into the filling mixture and simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove it from the heat.
  • Taste and adjust the seasonings, then pour the vegan vegetable pie filling into a 9-inch (23cm) pie pan.

ASSEMBLE

  • Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper until large enough to cover the pan.
  • Carefully place it over the pan – keep in mind that the gluten-free vegan pie crust is fragile.
  • Trim any overhang, seal the edges with a fork/your fingers, and cut a few slits in the middle to allow steam to escape.
  • Brush the crust with milk/egg-free pastry wash and bake the meatless pot pie for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • The blog post also has some helpful tips and tricks
  • Pie crust: You can use store-bought vegan puff pastry (if you aren't gluten-free) or make your own favorite pie crust.
  • Flour: I used 3/4 cup (120 grams) of rice flour and 5 tbsp (40 grams) of tapioca flour. Regular all-purpose flour (if not gluten-free) should be fine too. If the dough turns out too dry, simply add a little more coconut oil (or vegan butter).
  • Cornstarch: You can use arrowroot flour or regular flour instead of cornstarch.
