Pennsylvania Dutch Seitan Pot Pie Recipes

PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH SEITAN POT PIE

Steps:

• Noodles: In bowl whisk the egg and water. Add your flour and salt then stir until dough gathers into a ball. Knead 5 to 6 minutes. You want smooth and elastic. Cover and let rest.
• In a dutch oven combine the onion, carrot, celery, potato, corn, broth, water, bouillon and seitan. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Roll out the noodle dough. Cut into pot pie squares about 1 1/2 inch wide and 1/8 thick. Drop into soup. DO NOT SHAKE OFF THE FLOUR. In fact if the soup isn't thick enough to please you dump some more from the mixing bowl inches Now close the lid.
• Cook for about 10 minutes and like the dumpling recipe do not peek. Adjust the seasonings [salt, pepper, Mrs Dash] when done. Serve.
• For PA Dutch "Chicken" and dumplings use the sauerkraut dumpling recipe I posted under Philocrates.
• For Vegan omit the egg noodles and use eggless. Sorry I don't know of a sauerkraut dumpling that can be made without it. You could try the recipe I posted and omit but no promises.

PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH POT PIE

Steps:

• 1. Place meat in a Dutch oven and cover with water. Cook until meat pulls apart easily with a fork.
• 2. Meanwhile, add flour to a mixing bowl. Mix eggs and water, then add to flour. Mix until you get a nice ball of dough (add additional flour if too sticky, but do so sparingly - you don't want dough that is too dry). Additionally, if dough is too dry, add more water a tsp. at a time. Roll out dough to about 1/8″ thick - if using gluten-free flour, you'll want to roll the dough between plastic wrap since it's usually much stickier than regular flour dough. Cut the dough into small squares.
• 3. One the meat is done and pulled apart, add the stock and bring to a boil.
• 4. Add potatoes, onions, and dough squares in batches, stirring after each batch of dough squares (to prevent them from sticking to each other).
• 5. Add parsley, salt and pepper; cook about 15 minutes (until dough squares are cooked through....pull one out and cut in half to check. They should be uniform in color - if the very middle is still darker, it's not cooked enough).
