TOFU POT PIE

Steps:

• Cook potato and carrot in a pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 10 minutes, drain, rinse and set aside.
• Put stock and tamari in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce to low and whisk in the cornstarch-water mixture, simmer 2-3 minutes, stirring until thickened, remove from heat and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium-size skillet over medium heat.
• Add the onion, cover and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the onion to the potatoes and carrots and mix in the tofu, corn and peas.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• For the crust, incorporate the salt into the flour, add the corn oil and with 2 butter knives cut the oil into the flour until crumbly and well incorporated.
• Add the water and mix until it forms a ball. (if it's too crumbly, add water by the tablespoonful until it comes together. different climates affect flour differently.).
• Divide the crust in two and on a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball until it is slightly larger than a 2-quart casserole dish.
• Place one half into the casserole dish, and put the vegetables on top.
• Place the second crust over the vegetables and crimp the edges.
• Bake until the filling is hot and bubbly and the crust is browned, about 45 minutes.
• Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• p.s. someone asked a question whether to use silken or waterpacked. waterpacked/chinese-style is ideal, but it may still work if all you have is silken. or go ahead and omit the tofu altogether. it's an adaptable recipe.

TOFU VEGETABLE POT PIE

• Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, celery, garlic, and tofu until onion is tender and translucent, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir flour into vegetable mixture; toss to coat.
• Slowly stir milk into vegetable mixture until thickened; about 5 minutes. Stir in vegetable broth; cook and stir until filling is thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in frozen vegetables. Fit one pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan.
• Pour filling into prepared pie crust. Top with second pie crust; crimp edges together to seal. Poke holes into top crust for ventilation during baking.
• Bake pie in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

SAVORY MUSHROOM TOFU PIE

Steps:

• If using savory dough, prepare it.
• Heat oven to 400°F
• Place the oil in a skillet [note you can use water for this step if you want to reduce the fat] over med high heat. Add onion, leek, scallion, and ginger and sauté over medium heat until the veggies are limp. Add the vinegar and stir until evaporated.
• Add the mushrooms and saute until they give up the liquid, approx 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Process the tofu and sour cream until smooth. Blender or food processor, your choice. Turn into a large mixing bowl and add the mushroom mix with a slotted spoon then stir to blend.
• If using savory dough, roll the dough on a 12 inch square of parchment paper into a 10 inch round. Pile the filling in the center and spread out leaving a two inch margin all around. Bring the dough up around the sides as if you were going to encase the filling but leave a 6 inch window. Crimp the dough around the sides to hold in place. Transfer to a baking sheet or a preheated stone. Bake until crust is golden brown and the filling is set, about 40 minutes. If the crust browns before the filling is set, cover with foil and continue to bake at 300°F for about 10 more minutes.
• Notes: I personally found this needed a bit more spices. I used Lemon Pepper, Salt, Italian seasoning, a bit of wasabi powder, turmeric (made it a nice gold), and threw in some sliced tomatoes when I blended it. You want amounts? I will jiggle it some more and post corrections. Note I have a strong taste for strong tastes. This is fine with out it but if you like spice play around with it. Also I have used Ricotta cheese [no fat] in place of the sour cream. I have not tried with soy cheese yet.
