VEGAN VEGGIE POT PIE
I was craving pot pie one day, so I threw this vegan version together with what I had on hand. It came out more wonderful than I could have imagined and it's even better the second day. I am not a big fan of complicated recipes, so I tried to keep it as simple as possible. I used a bag of organic frozen veggies to cut down on the work (corn, peas, carrots, green beans).

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Place squash and potatoes on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; saute until onion is translucent, about 7 minutes. Add flour; mix thoroughly. Cook, stirring constantly to prevent burning, until a thick paste is formed, 2 to 3 minutes.

Pour in water; reduce heat to a simmer. Add the baked squash and potatoes; cook over medium heat until fork-tender, about 10 minutes.

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.

Tips:
- To make the perfect vegan pot pie crust, use a combination of all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and vegan butter. This will give you a flaky and flavorful crust that holds its shape well.
- Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough. Just mix it until it comes together, then wrap it in plastic wrap and chill it for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your pot pie filling. This will give you a more flavorful and nutritious dish. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, peas, and potatoes.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and bland. Cook them until they are just tender, then remove them from the heat.
- Use a thickener to give your pot pie filling a creamy consistency. Some good options include flour, cornstarch, or arrowroot powder.
- Season your pot pie filling to taste. Add salt, pepper, and any other herbs or spices that you like.
- Bake the pot pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Conclusion:
Vegan pot pie is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a vegan pot pie that is as good as, if not better than, the traditional version.
