Vegetable Pot Pie

 

I feel very proud of this.

After trying a number of meal kits, I've settled on Martha Stewart's kit, which I won't name or link here in case they don't like their recipes being posted on the internet. But it's easy to find. We've gotten two boxes so far, and nearly every recipe has been amazing. I wasn't planning to blog/keep any of the recipes, but this one was too good and I want to remember it so I can duplicate it on my own.

I've never made pot pie before, since I don't like meat and it never seemed appealing enough to bother with all of that work just for cooked vegetables. My mind is changed. It's worth it.

The only change I made is to scale it up from a 10" skillet to a 12" one, and to add Quorn for some protein.


The Recipe:
2 large carrots, diced small
1 cup broccoli and/or green beans, diced small
1/2 medium onion, diced small
1 c corn
1/4 c parmesan, grated
1 potato, diced
2 bags Quorn Meatless Quiquin pieces
1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
2 c vegetable broth
2 c flour (gluten-free 1-1 flour works fine!)
1.5 tsp baking powder
3 tb butter
1 tb vegetable oil
2 c milk, more if needed
2 tsp cider vinegar
salt and pepper
  • Melt butter in an ovenproof 12" skillet. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside until ready to make biscuit dough.
  • Add vegetable oil to the same pan over medium-high heat. Saute onions, carrots, and broccoli / green beans until softened. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add potatoes and vegetable broth, and bring to a boil.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add corn, Quorn, 1 cup of the milk, and 3 tb of the flour.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes until thickened.
  • Add the remaining cup of milk and vinegar to the bowl with the melted butter. Stir; butter will clump. Add parmesan, rosemary, the rest of the flour, and 1/2 tsp salt. Stir just until combined. Add more milk if needed to make a biscuit dough.
  • Drop heaps of biscuit dough over the vegetable filling in the skillet.
  • Bake at 425 for 20 minutes, then let sit 5 minutes.

The Verdict:
Overall grade: A-
Overall reason: Amazingly delicious and comforting.
Time to prepare: 90 minutes
Husband quote: "Very good."

Curry Fried Rice

Excited for these leftovers. One of the things I wanted to try with my  new jar of curry powder  was fried rice. Years ago, Miles got fried rice at  Korea House  and it was the best fried rice I'd ever had. I suspected there was curry powder in it, but at that time I had never really cooked with curry powder, so I tucked that knowledge away for a later date. After reading a few recipes, I went rogue on this one. I couldn't even begin to effectively guess at what proportions I ended up with, so the recipe below is more of a rough guideline of ingredients. The "Recipe" (sorry no quantities; follow your heart): leftover jasmine rice tofu, cubed and crisped in the oven with avocado oil and salt vegetables: garlic, onion, cabbage, red bell pepper salt curry powder (I used a Vietnamese one) soy sauce sugar sesame oil future topping ideas: runny egg, sesame seeds, green onion Saute the vegetables in avocado oil until softened, and salt them to taste Add the tofu and toss to...

Samosa Burritos

Imagine a pile of plain yogurt and some Indian pickle for dipping I saw a Pinterest recipe for samosa-filled quesadillas, which led me to  this recipe  from Nadia's Healthy Kitchen for baked samosas using tortillas, which led me to just use the giant tortillas I had in the fridge and make them into full-sized burritos. They were a hit! I largely followed the recipe from Nadia's Healthy Kitchen, but I added some potato, omitted the chana masala powder and just added a bunch of cumin instead, added bell pepper and fresh chilies, didn't bother with the "sealing paste," and basted them in a little bit of melted butter (omit for vegan version). Everyone except the 5-year-old liked them! The Recipe (adapted from  Nadia's Healthy Kitchen ) 2 cans (30 oz total) cooked garbanzo beans, rinsed (I eyeballed the equivalent from dry beans) 1 small onion, chopped 4 garlic cloves, minced 1 thai chili, minced 1 bell pepper, chopped 1 potato, baked until soft (or microwaved for...

Vietnamese Curry Stir-Fry

  When I get the recipe just right, I'll go to the effort of adding fried shallots on top. I'm back to my on-and-off mission of trying to make a stir-fry as delicious as the shrimp I used to get at  Pho Grand  in St. Louis during college. It was called "cari tom" but it definitely wasn't a coconut milk type of curry, and they ALSO have a separate listing on their menu for "cari tom dac biet" which includes "coconut milk sauce" in their description. So I'm pretty sure it was just a stir-fry that had curry flavors in it? I got myself a big container of Vietnamese curry powder and I'm going to keep experimenting. This is the closest I've come so far. Changes for the future: - More oil and sugar, restaurant style - A blend of fish sauce and soy sauce, instead of just soy sauce - Fried shallots on top The Recipe (adapted from  Veggie Anh ): 3 tb fresh lemongrass, chopped 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 Thai chili, minced 1 pinch salt 2 tb avoc...
