I figured that after a long, cold bus ride home, a little comfort food would hit the spot: enter the scrumptious Homespun Pot Pie from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moosewoodrestaurant.com\/collective.html\">Moosewood<\/a> New Classics. I have played with the original measurements, because the recipe claims to serve 6 but the original measures would easily feed ten!<br \/>\nI served this with a new Gazette recommendation, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.saq.com\/webapp\/wcs\/stores\/servlet\/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&amp;catalogId=10001&amp;langId=-1&amp;productId=297855&amp;parent_category_rn=&amp;shouldCachePage=\">Mencia Pittacum Bierzo 2005<\/a>, which was touted as good with herb sauces. There are other wines we&#8217;ve had with the pot pie in the past, notably those that go well with mushrooms.<br \/>\nThe Mencia was a good choice, but quite intense &#8211; which, when you&#8217;re trying to warm up from the inside out, is probably a good thing. Underneath the intensity I tasted overripe strawberries, and Dr. T claims there was some red currant.<br \/>\nFor those that count, this is 10 points for a generous serving, less without the topping &#8211; and you can always sub reduced fat\/calorie margarine for the butter.<br \/>\nRecipe:<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nVegetable Pot Pie<br \/>\n<em>modified from the Moosewood New Classics collection<\/em><br \/>\nServes 6<br \/>\n<u>Vegetables<\/u><br \/>\n1-2 tsp vegetable oil, or a generous spray<br \/>\n2 med onions, chopped<br \/>\n2-3 garlic cloves, minced<br \/>\n1 tsp salt<br \/>\n1 tsp dried thyme or basil<br \/>\n1 tsp dried marjoram<br \/>\n3 cups mushrooms, in big pieces<br \/>\n1 tbsp Dijon mustard<br \/>\n2 med sweet potatoes, peeled &amp; chopped<br \/>\n2 med parsnips, peeled &amp; chopped<br \/>\n1\/2 tsp black pepper<br \/>\n2 cups vegetable stock (2 cups water + 1 bouillon cube)<br \/>\n2 tbsp corn starch, dissolved in \u00bc cup water<br \/>\n1 can peas<br \/>\n1 can corn<br \/>\n1 tbsp soy sauce<br \/>\n1\/2 tsp salt (if you\u2019re using regular soy sauce, I would omit this salt)<br \/>\n<u>Topping<\/u><br \/>\n2 cups flour<br \/>\n1\/2 tsp salt<br \/>\n1 tbsp baking powder<br \/>\n3 oz (6 tbsp) butter, melted<br \/>\n1 cup buttermilk or plain yoghurt<br \/>\n1 tsp dill weed<br \/>\nPreheat oven to 400 F and lightly oil a large casserole dish.<br \/>\nIn a stew pot, heat the oil and cook the onion and garlic together, covered, for about 10 minutes. Add the salt, herbs, mushrooms and mustard, recover, and cook about 5 minutes, until the mushrooms are releasing their juices.<br \/>\nAdd the sweet potatoes and parsnips, stir, then add the pepper and stock. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and cover, and let simmer for 20 minutes (15 if your veggies are in small pieces). Stir in the dissolved cornstarch, and once the liquid has thickened, add the peas, corn, soy sauce and salt, if using. Give it one more stir, and transfer to the casserole dish. Set the casserole aside while you make the topping.<br \/>\nCombine the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, then add the wet ingredients in as few strokes as possible to make a wet dough. Drop in 1\/8 or \u00bc cup dollops onto the vegetables, and sprinkle with the dried dill.<br \/>\nBake 30 minutes and serve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a snowy couple of days, and while my outdoor adventures have been completely voluntary, Dr. T&#8217;s have been work-imposed.
