VEGAN CHICKPEA POT PIE THAT YOU WILL LOVE
Pot pie is one of the most hearty and comforting foods ever. If you love a classic pot pie which I assume you do, this vegan pot pie will be your new favorite. Tender veggies are simmer in a herby, flavorful sauce and topped with a flaky puff pastry. With just a few simple substitutions you have a warming pot pie that’s dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan friendly. I promise it’s just as delicious as the classic recipe!
HOW TO MAKE CHICKPEA POT PIE
Start with the crust. If using a store-bought puff pastry, roll it out and cut into rectangles. Brush with egg wash or almond milk for vegan version and bake until golden brown. You can also make your own gluten-free vegan crust, homemade vegan puff pastry or a regular pie crust. Both work great for this recipe!
Cook onion, celery, carrots and potatoes. Once tender, stir in the chickpeas, garlic, fresh herbs and flour. Cook for another few minutes and add green peas and pour in the almond milk and vegetable stock, stirring constantly. Let the mixture come to a simmer and then cook until it thickens slightly, about 5-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide between bowls and top with the pastry. Enjoy!
HOW TO MAKE THIS CHICKPEA POT PIE DAIRY-FREE
Use plant-based milk instead of regular milk! I like using any plant-based milk from the carton such as almond or cashew!
Here’s just a few recipes where I used plant-based milk instead of dairy milk:
Creamy tuscan tortellini soup with spinach
Creamy chicken gnocchi soup
Easy vegan coconut curry noodle bowls
Creamy salmon linguine pasta
Creamy rice soup with vegetables
