Ingredients for Vegetable Filling
1 small sugar pumpkin, roasted
3 large carrots
2 celery stalks
2 cups vegetable stock
1 small white onion (or half of a large one)
1 bunch of kale (about 8 cups chopped, stems removed)
1 can of white kidney beans
4 garlic cloves, crushed
generous salt and pepper
pinch of pepper flakes
olive oil for sautéing
Ingredients for the Roux
1 generous pat of butter
2 tablespoons flour
vegetable stock, about 2 ladles full (taken from above)
salt, pepper
Ingredients for Crust
1 3/4 cup flour
1 stick of butter
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup of parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 egg for egg wash (optional)
Directions
Wash, peel, chop and roast the a small sugar pumpkin on 350 F for 10 minutes. Sauté the mirepoix on medium heat with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. Wash and chop the kale, removing the stems. Add to the mirepoix and let wilt on low with vegetable broth. Make a roux: melt butter in a hot pot, add two tablespoons of flour, one at a time. Let that get toasty and fragrant before you add the stock – one ladle full at a time. Mix roux in with remaining filling ingredients. Combine 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 bowls. Place filling in bowls, don’t fill to the brim – you don’t want the good stuff to run over! Place crust on top of bowls 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.
Good Happens.
