Vegetable Pot Pie (Vegan)

Ingredients
1-2 16 oz pkg frozen mixed vegetables
1 pkg Beyond Meat (beyond chicken) cubed
1/8 c diced celery
1/8 c diced onion
1/4 c diced mushroom
diced garlic cloves (1-2)
flour for roux, hot water
Oil for saute (safflower, sunflower, or canola)
Pie shells (1-2) 9 inch





Preparation:
Heat a large skillet, add oil, season, then lightly saute celery, onion, mushroom, and garlic cloves.  Remove to an adjacent plate or dish. Mix 2-4 teaspoons of flour with equal parts hot water to make a slurry.  Add more oil, saute beyond chicken cubes until brown bringing up heat to create a slight tacky sear.  Add a little more oil, pour in slurry, stir, and more water 1/2 cup at a time, creating a roux around your beyond chicken pieces.

Your roux should be thick and creamy.  Add in your mixed vegetables and your saute vegetables.  Take your skillet off of the heat to bring down temperature.

Cover your crust edges.  Pre-bake your crust for 10-15 minutes on 300-350 but watch it so that is not over browned.  Let it stand for 5-10 minutes.  Fill your pre-baked shell to your desired height, taking into consideration the size of your second shell for the cover/seal. Close your pie with the second crust. Recover the outer edge, bake at 350-400 (350 if convection).

Slice or prick the center to allow steam to escape. Place pie on a baking sheet. Bake 30-45 minutes until golden brown/crust is flaky.

Black Bean Saute (Vegan)


Ingredients
1/3 c. bias sliced celery
¼ c. onion chunks
1 c. fresh spinach
¼ c. sliced mushrooms
1 c. Beyond Chicken
1 T Black Bean Paste
Water
Cooking Oil
Wok or Large Skillet on medium-high heat


Seasons…are for your taste. Salt,
Turbinado Sugar, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Coarse Ground Pepper

Directions

Mix bean paste with two parts water, sweeten if you desire.  

Heat Wok; add oil, sauté Beyond Chicken until brown.  Set aside.  Add two T. of oil to Wok, pour in bean paste mixture. The starch from the paste, mixed with water, and oil will form a light gravy.  You may add more paste or water to adjust to your desired thickness.  I prefer this to be on the thinner side.

Next, add your sauté Beyond Chicken and vegetables. Turn to coat and cover, watch the wilting of spinach.  After about 3-5 minutes, remove and serve with fried brown rice.
