- 4 tablespoons unsalted vegan butter
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup sliced carrots
- 1/2 cup sliced celery
- 1/4 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, sage and thyme minced -if not fresh use 1/2 tsp dried
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 2 1/2 cups vegan chicken broth (or use real chicken broth if preferred)
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup frozen green beans
- 1/2 cup diced potatoes
Instructions:
- Make sure there is an oven rack on the bottom rack of the oven. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Add the butter to a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add carrots, celery, onion, potatoes, salt, and pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring often.
- Add cornstarch and stir well until no cornstarch remains. Slowly add the vegan chicken broth (or real chicken broth). Cook until bubbling and thickened, stirring often, for about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in peas, green beans, chickpeas, and herbs. Let cool for 15-30 minutes before filling the pie crust.
- Fit one pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate. Spoon the cooled filling into the pie crust. Top with the second pie crust. Seal the edges of the pie crust together and cut 2-4 slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Place the filled pie plate on a baking sheet and bake for 35 minutes on the bottom rack of the oven.
- Allow the pie to cool for 15-30 minutes before slicing and serving.
