This will give em some color and added flavor for the pot pie filling. You can skip this step if it’s too much for ya.*Pie dough, Crust: Since we’re not bakers we won’t pretend to be. We followed the Savory Pie Crust Recipe from http://www.veganbaking.net/ found here —> http://www.veganbaking.net/recipes/pies/flaky-pie-crust
This may be done the evening or morning before. Thank you to the lovely and talented Amelia for the help with the entire crust recipe. One of these days I’ll have the patience to bake.
GRAVY:
In medium sauce pot add parsnip, garlic and cashews, add water to cover and bring to boil for 10 minutes or until parsnips, garlic and cashews are soft / remove from heat, strain
Add cooked mixture to blender and begin blending on low
Drizzle in vegetable broth, soymilk and sherry
Switch to Blend on high. Add white pepper, onion pow and salt.
Stop blending for a second and add fresh herbs and then blend for another 10 seconds only to incorporate herbs. Don’t blend too much and make the gravy green
FINISHING – TIME TO BRING IT ALL HOME:
in Pie pan lay out pie crust or just use the crust for the top – it’s up to you.
Add vegetables
Pour in White gravy, enough to just fill – do not over fill
Cover with pie crust – design as you wish, crimp the edges cut leaves out of extra dough for garnish, etc.
Once ready for oven – brush crust with a little melted earth balance and bake until golden brown and lovely.
