Creamy Cauliflower Pot Pie

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Cauliflower Pot Pie.

1. Step 1

   Start by warming a generous splash of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

2. Step 2

   Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the cauliflower, leek, carrot, and mushrooms.

3. Step 3

   Sauté these vibrant vegetables for about 10 minutes, or until they become tender and fragrant.

4. Step 4

   Next, pour in some sherry vinegar to deglaze the skillet, making sure to scrape up those delicious browned bits stuck to the bottom—this is where the flavor lives! Now, turn up the heat slightly and whisk in the flour, cooking it for around 7 minutes while stirring constantly.

5. Step 5

   You want the flour to be lightly cooked but not browned, creating a lovely base for your dish.

6. Step 6

   Gradually add in the soy milk, continuing to whisk until the mixture thickens, which should take about 5 to 8 minutes.

7. Step 7

   Once thickened, reduce the heat and let it simmer gently.

8. Step 8

   Stir in the bay leaf, tarragon, thyme, oregano, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper, allowing the flavors to meld together as it simmers for 20 minutes.

9. Step 9

   While that’s bubbling away, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

10. Step 10

    In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt.

11. Step 11

    Then, blend in the olive oil and water until a soft dough forms.

12. Step 12

    Feel free to fold in any extra ingredients you love at this stage! Now, it’s time to bring it all together.

13. Step 13

    Transfer the savory cauliflower mixture into an 8x12-inch casserole dish, and drop spoonfuls of your biscuit dough on top, creating a delightful, rustic look.

14. Step 14

    Pop the dish into your preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is beautifully golden brown.

15. Step 15

    The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible, and soon you’ll have a comforting, hearty meal ready to enjoy!.
