Vegetable Pot Pie Pies With Mashed Potato Crust Recipes

VEGETABLE POT PIE

Steps:

• In a pan, heat up the oil, add the chopped onion, and fry gently until tender.
• Add the frozen and fresh vegetables, and cook for 5 minutes, until the veggies start to soften.
• Add the flour and vegetable stock, season with salt and pepper, and mix in the fresh parsley.
• Leave to cook for a further 5 minutes, until the liquid begins to thicken. Remove from the heat and leave to cool completely.
• Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahnrenheit).
• Distribute the veggie mixture between the oven-safe pots (or any baking dish you use), and sprinkle semolina over.
• Beat the egg, then brush the edges of the dishes with it, then cut the shortcrust pastry to form lids of each of the dishes you use.
• Press gently with your fingers, so that the pastry fits well around the pots.
• Use a sharp knife to cut steam vents on top of the lids, then brush with more egg wash, and bake for about 20 minutes or until golden.
• Serve hot!
