Pot Pie Recipe
In response to the pot pie video I got a few recipe requests. Here it is, kind of!
Free-Form Vegetarian Pot Pie
- One or two potatoes - A couple carrots - Other vegetables - green beans, peas, mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower are the standards, but use your imagination - Tofu or tempeh if you like - Can of biscuits: Flaky layers work the best - a box of veggie broth - 4 tbsp butter - 4-5 tbsp flour
Saute or steam vegetables and optional tofu/tempeh till they are about halfway cooked. Meanwhile, make sauce by melting butter then stirring flour in. Cook butter-flour a bit. Stir in broth a little at a time, keeping the consistency gravy-like. Mix sauce with vegetables and spice it up good, especially more salt than what is healthy for you. Pour mixture into a baking pan or pans. Have someone pop the biscuit can for you because you're too chicken to do it yourself. Separate each biscuit into thirds, roughly (the "flaky layers" kind allows you to do this with ease). Feel a little un-Martha-ish for using canned biscuits instead of making your own crust, which is probably delicious but takes far more effort than you can summon tonight. Bake roughly according to directions on biscuit can, which you have to fish out of the garbage to read. Or, just go for 400F and keep an eye on it, you'll know when it's done. Let sit for a little while to settle and cool before digging in. Yum! You might worry that the biscuits will get all goopy if you save leftovers, but they don't really.

And thanks for the film recommendations, everyone. Many of your suggestions have been languishing in my netflix queue for years, so it's time to move them on up.

Oh thank you! I'm going to try the pot pie this week.
Also, the popping biscuit barrel creeps me out a bit too.

A can of biscuits? That'd be scone mixture I guess, but it doesn't come in cans, no way. heh, it's funny how every now and then there's a post by someone someplace to remind me I live in a whole different place. (from NZ, downunder, where it's summer)

Sounds good although I've never heard of the biscuits in a tin- is this some kind of pastry? It always amazes me the kinds of groceries that you get in different parts of the world. Makes you realise that there are still many little local differences in this globalised world.
