Ready In: 1 hour 30 min | Servings: 4-6
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Make pie crust as directed, and freeze bottom shell in pie plate.
- In a medium saucepan over medium high heat, melt vegan butter and palm oil. Add leeks, garlic, habenero peppers and herbs. Sauté until tender.
- Add flour and brown to a light roux. Add broth, soy milk, asparagus, carrots, peas and seitan. Cook for 3-5 more minutes on low flame.
- Add mixture to frozen pie shell, top with pie shell.
- Bake for 35 minutes, remove from oven and allow to set for several minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Use a broth with minimal “taste” to it. Some vegan broths can overpower a dish with a very specific flavor.
- Brown the seitan or your desired protein in a pan separate with a little oil to enhance flavor.
