Priscilla's Tofu Pot Pie

Makes 5 - 6 servings

 

 

 

Filling:

1 1/2 lb. firm tofu

1/4 cup flour

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. each: pepper, garlic powder

2 Tbsp. oil

1 1/2 cups onion, chopped

1 cup carrots, sliced

1 cup peas, fresh or frozen

 

Gravy:

3Tbsp. margarine

4 cups mushrooms, sliced

1/4 cup whole wheat flour

1 tsp. each: salt, sage, garlic powder

1/2 tsp. each: thyme, paprika

1/4 tsp. pepper

2 - 3 cups water

 

Crust:

2 cups whole wheat pastry flour

1/2 cup wheat germ

3/4 tsp. salt

1 stick margarine

6 Tbsp. cold water

 

Filling: Cut the tofu into 1/2 " cubes. Mix the

flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Add the tofu

cubes and toss until coated. In a large skillet, heat

oil and saute tofu until golden. Add onions, cook for

5 minutes, then add carrots and celery. Cover the pan

and cook over medium heat until carrots are tender,

stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in

the peas.

 

Gravy: Melt margerine in a large saucepan, then add

the sliced mushrooms. Cover pan and saute over medium

heat till mushrooms are soft. Stir in flour and

seasonings and cook over low heat 2 to 3 minutes.

Whisk in water and simmer, uncovered, until gravy

thickens, about 10 minutes. Mix half the gravy into

the tofu and vegetables. Set remainder aside.

 

Crust: Combine flour, wheat germ, and salt and stir to

mix. Cut in margerine until mixture resembles coarse

cornmeal. Add cold water all at once and stir just

enough to form dough into a ball. Divide in half and

roll first half out on a floured surface. Place in a

casserole. Roll out remaining half of dough and set

aside.

 

Assembly: Spread tofu and vegetable mixture into the

dough-lined dish. Pour remaining gravy over top and

cover with top crust. Fold edges of top and bottom

crusts together and pinch to form edge. Cut 4 to 6

1-inch slits in top crust to allow steam to escape.

Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 20 minutes.

Reduce heat to 350, and bake an additional 20 to 30

minutes, until crust is nicely browned.
