Introducing....Veggie Pie!
This vegetable pie is probably one of my favourites! A couple of years ago I got frustrated that there were no vegan pies for sale so decided to make my own. I looked around at recipes on the internet for ideas and came up with my own combination! This is another meal that I often get asked for the recipe when I make it for others. It?s not the prettiest of pies, but boy does it taste awesome! I would deffinately recommend giving it a go :)
Approx. 460 calories each pie (depending on your pastry) Ingredients: 250g pumpkin, diced 3 carrotts, peeled and sliced 1 potato, peeled and diced 1 small red capsicum, diced 1 small head of broccoli, cut into quite small pieces 5 cauliflour florets, cut into quite small pieces ¼ C frozen (or fresh) bean pieces ¼ C frozen (or fresh) peas ½ can (200g) sweetcorn ¼ C polenta 2 C water 2 ½ sheets pastry 2 teaspoons dried mixed herbs 1 Tablespn vegetable stock Salt and Pepper Spray oil Method: - Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C. - Boil pumpkin, carrot, potato, capsicum, broccoli and cauliflour until all are soft ? just soft enough so carrot slides off fork, this usually takes 20 minutes. Add corn, beans and peas and cook another few minutes until soft. Drain vegetables. - While veggies are cooking you can prepare the polenta. Boil the water and then add polenta, veggie stock, herbs and salt and pepper ? stir and cook over low heat for 10 minutes or until thickened. Of course you can add more or less water to make it the right consistency (not too thin or thick-medium consistency). - Spray 5 pie dishes with spray oil, cut pastry sheets in half and line each dish with half a sheet as below? - Cook in 200 degree C oven for 20-30 minutes or until pastry browned at edges and on bottom.
You can use extra or other vegetables. I sometimes use sweet potato and green capsicum as well, or in place of other ingredients. For meat eaters...my mum puts cheese and bacon on top of hers before going into the oven.
