Ingredients
1 cup yellow onion, diced
1 cup carrots, chopped
1 cup celery, diced
1 1/2 cups butternut squash, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1- 15 oz. can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup corn
1/2 cup peas
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
2 Tbsp whole wheat flour
2 Tbsp arrowroot starch
1 Tbsp nutritional yeast
2 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
For the crust
1 cup whole wheat flour
Salt, to taste
1/2 Tbsp baking powder
1/4 cup coconut butter
1/4 cup ice cold water
Fresh rosemary, for garnish (optional)
Directions
In a large skillet or cast iron, add the onion, and cook until they start to brown. Then add the carrots, celery, and butternut squash. Cook until vegetables start to get tender.
Add the garlic and cook until fragrant. Then add the chickpeas, corn, and peas and cook until they are heated through.
Add the broth, 2 Tbsp whole wheat flour, arrowroot starch, nutritional yeast, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes. Stir often until the mixture begins to get thick.
Using an 8x8 in. casserole dish or an 8 in. cast iron pan, add the chickpea and vegetable filling. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine.
Add the coconut butter. Using a fork, cut the butter into the flour until it’s in small pieces. It’ll begin to look like wet sand. Very slowly pour in the cold water and stir with a wooden spoon until dough begins to form.
Sprinkle flour onto a large cutting board. Place the dough on the floured surface; kneed the dough a little bit to smooth it out. Roll the dough with a rolling pin so that it is large enough to cover the top of the chickpeas and vegetables. Carefully place the dough on top.
Cut “vents” into the crust for ventilation.
Bake for 30-35 minutes. The filling should be bubbling, and the crust should be golden brown and crispy.
Garnish with fresh rosemary if desired. Divide into 4 equal servings.
Preheat the oven to 425°F
