1/2 cup flour
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3 cups textured soy protein chunks or tofu
2 tablespoon oil
1 cup onions and assorted veggies
for the gravy:
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup nutritional yeast:
1/3 cup oil
1 1/2 cup water
3 tablespoon tamari
1 pre-made pie she'll or home-made pie shell
Directions:prepare textured soy protein (boil w/3 cups water...) then mix all filling ingredients in a paper bag, or mixing bowl and blend together (shake, etc)
prepare gravy by mixing all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat untill a nice, thick, gravy-like consistency is achieved
mix gravy and filling contents together, and fill pie shell.
bake at 350 untill golden brown. this is super good! i recommend textured soy protein over tofu.
Serves: ~4
This is my basic recipe, minus textured soy protein. I make the gravy with veg broth and cornstarch, garlic, etc. Loads of potatoes and carrots, other good veggies. Top the veggies with spinach layer, then with cheddar or soy cheese, also line the bottom crust with cheese before you add the veggies. this is our favorite- Mrs. Smiths make veggie pie shells- others have LARD so watch out.

Great recipe! There are a couple of hints I'd like to pass along: First of all, make sure the veggies are cooked before you put them in the pie. You can use a can of Veg-All for convenience, or saute onions, potatoes, carrots, etc., in olive oil before you put them in. Second, do not cover the pie. It will cook in about 30 minutes. Third, you can substitute soy milk for part or all of the water in the gravy for a creamier sauce. Lastly, you could also double this and make it as a casserole. It doesn't have to have a crust!

This was very yummy, although the gravy was quite rich-I think from the amount of soy sauce. I'll tone it down next time. I used frozen mixed veggies, which I thawed but did not precook, and that worked great. And I also used Morningstar Crumbles in place of textured soy protein-you would've thought you were eating ground beef!

vedgie wedgie - morningstar crumbles are vegan, as well as their vegan burgers.

Ref Morningstar - it may be vegan but it isn't healthy. Sodium levels are very high and there are all kinds of aritifical and synthetic ingredients. Morningstar Farms, owned by Kellogs, uses genetically modified grains in their products. I know its more readily available in most areas but that's consumer demand. Ask your grocers to carry lightlife, whitewave, and turtle island brands if possible. These companies are commited to quality, organic and non-gmo ingredients.

This is my favorite veggie pot pie recipe. I just purchase a vegan pie she'll and add whatever fresh vegetables I have on hand. I definitely agree that you should cook the vegetables in a skillet with a bit of oil before adding them to the pie crust. I've tried adding soy cheese, but it didn't seem to add much to the overall dish. This recipe works really well with homemade seitan instead of the textured soy protein. Its the ultimate comfort food!
