Ingredients
Puff Pastry:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1¼ cups cold avocado oil shortening (cubed)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup ice-cold water
Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 3/4 cup vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup sweet potato (chopped into 1/4 inch cubes, microwaved for 3 minutes to soften)
- 540 ml chickpeas (1 can, drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup chopped spinach
- 5 tablespoons cornstarch (mixed with 5 tablespoons of water)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- If making puff pastry from scratch: To a food processor with an S blade, add the flour and half of the cubed avocado oil shortening. Do 10 to 12 pulses until mixed slightly.
- Add the remaining shortening and pulse an additional two to three times, then pour in the cold water and pulse for an additional 4 times until a ball is formed.
- On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough around 8 times. With a rolling pin, roll into a triangle around the size of a 9 x 13 casserole dish.
- Fold into a rectangle, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- If using pre-rolled vegan puff pastry, please get it out of the freezer and allow to thaw.
- How to make Tuscan chickpea pot pie: Preheat the oven to 425F and get out a 9×13 casserole dish.
- Add the coconut milk, tomato paste, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, microwaved sweet potato, chickpeas, spinach, and the cornstarch slurry. Mix well.
- Add the puff pastry over the top and put 3 slices in the center for ventilation. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes until the puff pastry is golden. Serve hot.
Notes
- To save time, you can use store-bought vegan puff pastry instead of making it from scratch.
- This dish pairs well with a side salad or roasted vegetables.
- Adjust the seasoning to suit your taste preferences.
