How to Make Chickpea and Potato Pot Pie
Step 1: Cook the Vegetables
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and carrots and cook for about 5 minutes until softened.
Step 2: Add the Potatoes and Chickpeas
Stir in the diced potatoes and chickpeas. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 3: Make the Sauce
Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to coat everything evenly. Gradually pour in the vegetable broth and milk, stirring constantly. Add the thyme, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and the potatoes are fork-tender. Stir in the frozen peas and remove from heat.
Step 4: Assemble the Pot Pie
Transfer the filling into a greased 9-inch pie dish or individual ramekins. Roll out the puff pastry and place it over the top, pressing the edges to seal. Cut a few small slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape. Brush with a beaten egg for a golden crust.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
Step 6: Serve & Enjoy
Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, with a side of salad or crusty bread!
Serving Ideas
🥗 With a Side Salad: A fresh green salad balances the richness of the pot pie.
🥖 With Bread: Serve with warm, crusty bread for extra comfort.
🌿 Make It Vegan: Use a plant-based milk and skip the egg wash.
