Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 stalks Celery, diced
- 2 medium Carrots, diced
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 2 cups Cooked chickpeas (or canned, drained and rinsed)
- 2 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or other non-dairy milk)
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 9-inch Vegan pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Sauté the diced onion, minced garlic, diced celery, and diced carrots for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, ensuring it coats the vegetables evenly.
Gradually pour in the vegetable broth and almond milk, stirring continuously to avoid clumps.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and add the nutritional yeast, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
Add the chickpeas and peas, allowing the mixture to cook for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the filling cool slightly.
Roll out the vegan pie crust if needed, and press it into a 9-inch pie dish.
Spoon the chickpea and vegetable filling into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Place a second layer of pie crust on top (optional), and pinch the edges to seal. Cut small slits in the crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the pot pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Slice and enjoy your homemade Chickpea Pot Pie!
