NextImg:Use Any Veggies You Like in This Inviting Pot Pie Recipe

By Linda Gassenheimer
From Tribune News Service

I love pot pies. They’re warm, inviting and a great way to incorporate vegetables into a meal. This is a one-pot vegetarian dinner that takes 25 minutes to make. You can use any vegetables you like, using this recipe as a guide to the amounts needed.

For the sake of speed, I use biscuit dough instead of a pie crust. It comes prepared and can be found in the refrigerator case of the supermarket. It takes 15 minutes to cook through, unlike pie dough, which can take 30 minutes. Or just sprinkle the top of the pie with seasoned breadcrumbs for a quick crust.

Shopping List

To buy: 1/4 pound sliced portobello mushrooms, 1 green bell pepper, 1 container vegetable broth, 1 bottle dried tarragon, 1 can reduced-sodium chickpeas, 1 small can sliced pimentos, 1 jar minced garlic, and one package ready-to-cook biscuit dough (6 ounces needed).

Staples: canola oil (or substitute), onion, flour, salt and black peppercorns.

Ingredients

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, green pepper, mushrooms and garlic. Saute 5 minutes. Add the flour, mix it with the onion, pepper and mushrooms and add the vegetable broth. Simmer to thicken about 1 minute.

Mix the tarragon, chickpeas and pimentos into the sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Add the vegetable mixture into a deep, oven-proof pie dish or a souffle dish about 6 inches in diameter. Open the cylinder of biscuit dough and slice the premade biscuits in half horizontally so they will be half as thick. Reshape them if they lose their shape when cut. Place them as close together as possible over the top of the pie. Bake for 15 minutes. The biscuits will rise and turn a golden brown. Serve immediately. Be sure to give each person a few biscuits along with the pie filling.
