vegan mofo 2011Pot Pie with Biscuit Crust

I mentioned on Facebook a while back that I was making biscuit pot pie, and a couple of folks asked for the recipe! It was a variation on my good old Pot Pie with Biscuit Crust, and I made some changes to feature the freaking gorgeous mustard greens we got from Vegetable Husband. I mean, really. These things were perfection. Here they are in the basket (that’s them on the far right):

mustard greens

Aren’t they lovely? All purples and greens! They were super spicy raw and mellowed out considerably on cooking. This recipe doesn’t call for any garlic or onions, because I wanted the bite from these greens to really shine. And it did!

Pot Pie with Biscuit Crust

Ingredients

  • 1/4c margarine
  • 1 pound tofu, cubed
  • 2t herbes de Provence
  • 6c mustard greens, coarsely chopped (kale or collards would work, too!)
  • 1/3c flour
  • 1 1/2c water or veggie broth (or half water or broth and half white wine)
  • 1c organic frozen peas and corn
  • 1 tube of vegan biscuit dough (FACT: a lot of regular store brands of biscuit dough are vegan. Check the ingredients!)

Cooking Directions

  1. In a Dutch oven, melt the margarine over medium high heat and sautee the tofu with the herbes de Provence for 3 minutes, then add the greens and the broth, then add the peas and corn.
  2. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to medium, and let the greens wilt in there for 5 minutes.
  3. Add the flour, and stir the mixture for about a minute, then add the liquid. Let the mixture boil and thicken for a few minutes, then turn off the heat and set aside.
  4. You’ve got 2 options with this biscuit crust situation: either roll the dough out and cover the whole pie or cover with a layer of individual biscuits. I went the second route. If you want to roll out the dough, just make sure you poke a couple of holes in the middle of the crust to let steam out.
  5. Stick the pot pie in the oven, and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is nice and brown.
  6. Let it settle for about 5 minutes before serving.

The beauty of this recipe is its versatility. You can really use any protein and veggies you like, so have fun with it!
