Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups cooked black-eyed peas (or 1 can, drained and rinsed)

  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 medium carrots, diced

  • 2 celery stalks, diced

  • 1 medium potato, peeled and diced

  • 1 cup frozen peas

  • 1 cup vegetable broth

  • 1/2 cup milk or plant-based milk

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 1 sheet store-bought puff pastry or homemade pie crust

  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.

  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, carrots, celery, and potatoes. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are slightly tender.

  • Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir for 1-2 minutes to thicken the filling.

  • Gradually stir in vegetable broth and milk. Add thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

  • Fold in the cooked black-eyed peas and frozen peas. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat.

  • Transfer the filling into the prepared pie dish. Roll out the puff pastry or pie crust and place it over the filling, trimming excess. Press edges to seal and cut small slits on top.

  • Brush the crust with beaten egg for a golden finish.

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the crust is golden and puffed.

  • Let the pot pie rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen vegetables for the best flavor and texture.

  • Adjust the thickness of the filling by adding more broth or simmering longer as needed.

  • Store leftover pie in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze unbaked pie for up to 2 months.

  • For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and skip the egg wash or brush with olive oil.
