4 cups vegetable stock
1 can of Cannellini beans
Generous pinch of salt and pepper
1 tsp, crushed rosemary

Ingredients for the Roux
1Tbs. butter
2 tablespoons flour

Salt, pepper
Ingredients for Crust
1 3/4 cup flour
1/2 Cup of butter
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup of parmesan cheese, grated
About 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 egg for egg wash (optional)
Directions for Pumpkin Pot Pie
- Wash, peel, chop and roast the sugar (or other sweet) pumpkin at 350 F for 10 minutes.
- Sauté the rest of the ingredients; garlic, onions, carrots and celery on medium heat with a little olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Add vegetable stock
- Simmer on low until your roux is ready
Make a roux:
- Melt the butter
- Add two tablespoons of flour, one at a time, until toasty and fragrant
- Add the stock – one ladle full at a time.
- Mix roux in with remaining filling ingredients.
Make the Crust:
- Combine all ingredients for the crust with your hands or stand mixer.
- Roll out dough on a well floured surface in the shape of your oven-proof dish.
Put it All Together:
- Place filling in dish(s). Use 1, 9 x 13 or round dish, or 6-8 individual oven proof dishes. Don’t fill to the brim – you don’t want the good stuff to run over!
- Place crust on top of the dish and pinch edges around the rim.
- For a shiny looking crust, brush an egg wash over the pie before baking.
- Bake for 35 minutes on 375 F.
Notes
- If the crust doesn't seem to want to come together – add 2 to 3 tablespoons of cold water.
- You could swap the rosemary for a curry spice to create a completely different experience 🙂
