Just Call Me Nik - (Video Recipe Follow Along), Adapted from NoraCooks Pie Filling

Ingredients

• 1 Pack of Blackbird Seitan (we used Rosemary Garlic)

• Double Recipe Easy Vegan Pie Crust

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 small onion, chopped

• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• 1/3 cup all purpose flour

• 2 cups vegetable broth

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

• 3 cups frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, corn, green beans, peas)

• 1 large russet potato, chopped into small chunks

• 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

FOR THE PIE CRUSt

1. Make a double recipe of Easy Vegan Pie Crust. Split the dough in half.

2. Transfer half the pie crust dough to a 9-inch pie pan. Push it evenly into the pan, trim off any excess, and place in the fridge to cool while you make the filling. 

3. Wrap the other ball of pie crust dough in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge as well.

FOR THE FILLING

1. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the onions and garlic and saute until onion is translucent, 1-2 minutes. 

2. Whisk in the flour, vegetable broth and unsweetened almond milk. Then add the mixed vegetables, potato and Blackbird Seitan. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, until the sauce thickens. 

THE REST

1. Pour the filling into the pie crust lined pan. Roll out the other pie crust on a lightly floured surface, and carefully cover the pie with it. Trim any overhang, and seal the edges with a fork or your fingers. Cut a few slits in the middle of the top crust.

2. Bake for 45 minutes, until the crust is golden brown. Cut, serve and enjoy!
