Vegetable Pot Pies - 35g Carbs, 4g Fiber, 5g Sugar

From: Vegetarian Times - June 2011 p. 74

Sometimes you just want pot pie. This one is wholesome, delicious,
and freezer-friendly. Make a batch, and freeze some for heat-and-eat
weeknight meals. Poultry seasoning (yep, it's veg) is the secret
flavor booster in this recipe.
Servings: 8

--> Dough
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1/4 tsp salt
4 Tbsp cold soy margarine, cut into pieces

--> Filling
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 medium leek, white and green parts chopped (1 1/2 cups)
1 1/2 cups chopped celery or fennel
2 large carrots, diced (1 cup)
8 oz button mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cloves garlic, minced (2 tsp)
4 oz red-skinned potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (1 1/2 cups)
2 1/4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 tsp poultry seasoning
2 Tbsp creamy cashew butter, optional
6 asparagus spears, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup fresh or thawed frozen peas
1/2 cup fresh or thawed frozen corn kernels

1. To make Dough: Whisk together flours and salt in bowl. Cut or rub
margarine into flour mixture until no large pieces remain. Stir in 3
to 4 Tbsp cold water until smooth dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap,
and chill while making Filling.

2. To make Filling: Heat oil in large pot over medium heat. Add leek,
celery, carrots, and mushrooms; saute 5 to 7 minutes, or until tender.
Stir in flour 
and garlic, and cook 1 minute. Add potatoes, broth, and
poultry seasoning. Cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low,
and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in cashew butter (if using), and 
cook 1 minute
more. Remove from heat, and stir in asparagus, peas, and corn.

3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Roll out Dough to 1/8-inch thickness.
Cut into 8 4-inch rounds.

4. Divide Filling among 8 1-cup ramekins. Place dough rounds on top,
pressing dough around sides of ramekins with fork to crimp and seal.
Poke hole in top of each pot pie. Place pot pies on baking sheet, and
bake 30 to 40 minutes, or until tops are golden brown. Let stand
5 minutes before serving.
