Ingredients

Filling

  • 2-3 tbsp grass-fed butter such as Kerrygold
  • 2 large carrots, cut into pieces
  • 1 yellow squash cut up
  • 1 zucchini cut up
  • 1/2 yellow pepper, cut into pieces
  • 1 cup broccoli
  • 2 celery stalks, cut into pieces
  • 2-3 gloves cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose unbleached flour
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or use 1/2 cup milk & 2 tbsp of melted butter (this is what I used)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • salt & pepper to taste

Pie Crust

  • 2-1/2 cups All-purpose unbleached flour
  • 1 cup unsalted grass-fed butter cut into pieces such as Kerrygold
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt or kosher
  • 7 tbsp ice water
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Filling

  1. If you like to prep cook, as I do, this step can be done the day before. Cut up all your vegetables.

  2. In a pan or cast-iron skillet, melt butter. Throw in all vegetables and cook on medium for about 10 mins or until veggies are soft.

  3. Then add flour, milk, broth, salt & pepper and cook until it thickens.

Pie Crust

  1. Combine flour, salt, and butter in a food processor or a blender. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Though a food processor will work much better, I did use my blender. It took longer, but it worked.

  2. Mix the ice water and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl.

  3. Pour 1/2 the water mixture in a blender; pulse 3 times to blend. Pour the rest in the blender and pulse 8 more times, until all comes together.

  4. Turn dough out onto a wooden surface or on parchment paper, kneed for a couple of seconds, then divide in half. Wrap each piece in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 30 mins.

  5. When ready to use, fold and press the dough to the desired shape and place one in the bottom of the dish (I used a ceramic pie dish), fill with vegetable filling, then top with the other piece of dough

  6. Using bottom rack, bake on a cookie sheet on 450 degrees for 45 mins to 1 hour. Watch it after 45 mins. It may need more time to bake. Mine did.
