A delicious and easy Vegan Mushroom Pot Pie recipe made with a simple vegan gravy, hearty vegetables and mushrooms, and topped with the perfect flaky homemade pie crust.
Add vegetable shortening and knead until a uniform consistency is achieved.
Add the cold water and knead again until a dough forms.
Split the dough into 2 equal sized portions.
Use a rolling pin to roll each portion to about 1/4 inch thick, and about 10 inches diameter.
Use one crust to line the pie plate and set the second aside for the topping.
For the filling
Preheat your oven to 425° Fahrenheit.
Chop the onion, celery, mushrooms, and carrots.
In a medium pot, saute the onion in olive oil (or vegan butter) for about 3-5 minutes until it begins to soften.
Add carrots, celery, mushrooms, and spices to the pot and stir.
Add the broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Let boil about 10 minutes or until the veggies are mostly fork-tender.
Add the flour and stir constantly until mixture has thickened.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust.
Top with the second layer of pie crust, pinch the edges to adhere, and cut a few slits in the top of the crust to vent.
Bake uncovered at 425° Fahrenheit for 20 minutes. Then, cover with aluminum foil (to prevent the crust edges from burning) and bake 5-10 more minutes.
Serve and enjoy!
