Chickpea Pot Pie

Writer Notes

This vegetarian pot pie makes no apologies for its lack of chicken. (Rooster who?) The recipe begins factual devour the usual: Sauté onion, carrots, and celery. Add flour for thickness, then broth (in this case, a DIY bouillon-essentially based one) and milk, which turn out to be a creamy, savory gravy. Nevertheless then, the set you’d generally add chicken, you add chickpeas—the minute bean that can perhaps perhaps. A noteworthy spoonful of white miso provides depth (be overjoyed to make exhaust of your current form of miso, factual adjust the quantity to taste). While many pot pies are baked in ramekins, this one is assembled freestyle: Ladle the pot pie filling into a bowl, then top with a crispy, flaky sq. of puff pastry. Now now not only carry out I procure this plot more straightforward, but it’s better for leftovers: Refrigerate or freeze the pot pie filling, then heat up at any time when, and top with regardless of bready part is around (whenever you occur to’re out of puff pastry, a thick portion of toast is intensely appropriate). And whenever you occur to don’t devour—or don’t are attempting to salvage—the vegetable-essentially based Better Than Bouillon, you might perhaps perhaps perhaps also swap out the 1 1/2 cups water for 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth; factual be determined that it’s hand-crafted or a trace you know and devour, since retailer-offered vegetable broths fluctuate plenty. —Emma Laperruque
