Kid Friendly Recipes: Organic Tofu Vegetarian Pot Pie

by Jennifer Lance on May 2, 2008 · 9 comments

Vegetarian tofu pot pieIn my family, tofu pot pie is comfort food. This recipe is a great way to pack a bunch of veggies into your child, and it is perfect in all seasons. In the winter, we enjoy its warming qualities, and in the summer we pack it full of garden veggies. If you make a crust with oil, this recipe is vegan, but I prefer a flaky buttery crust. Be creative with your own pot pies and mix together the veggies you have in the refrigerator. Every pot pie comes out differently, but they are always delicious, especially when using organic ingredients.

Tofu Vegetarian Pot Pie

Prepare the crust

Combine:

  • 1 cup unbleached white flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • dash of salt

Cut into flour mixture:

  • 2/3 cup chilled butter

Add:

  • 5 to 6 Tablespoons cold water

Knead until the dough holds together (you may need to add a little extra water), but do not overwork it. The warmth from your hands will soften the butter, and you will lose the flakiness of your crust.  Divide the dough into two balls and chill for 30 minutes in the refrigerator or 10 minutes in the freezer. Roll out a top and bottom crust. [read the full article...]
