-1/2 to 1 Tablespoon salt
-1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
-5 cups water
-3 Tablespoons vegan butter
-2 cups yellow onions, chopped (2 onions)
-1/2 cup all-purpose flour
-1 15 oz can full fat coconut milk 
-2 cups medium carrots, diced
-1 cup celery, diced including the leaves
-1 cup fennel, diced 
-1 cups package frozen peas

-1/4 teaspoon onion salt
-1/8 teaspoon celery salt 
-1 large bay leaf 
-1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
-Pinch each: Powdered All-Spice, nutmeg, ginger, & clove 

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 Degrees

Thaw the vegan scallops. Lightly pan sear them until golden brown, then cut the vegan scallops into large dice. 


*If not using the vegan scallops, use the oyster mushrooms and saute as well until golden for the recipe.



In a Large pot or Dutch oven, put in the oil and saute the onions over medium heat for 10 minutes, until translucent. Add the carrots, celery, fennel, and seasonings and cook. Stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes. 



Add the water and prepared vegan scallops (or mushrooms) to the veggie mixture. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring until veggies are tender. Once tender add the peas, half the coconut milk, and mix well.




For Thickening
Mix the flour, vegan butter, 4 Tbsp water, and coconut milk in separate bowl, working with fork until the mixture is combined with flour. Turn your heat up to medium high heat until bubbling. Add flour mixture to the broth and slowly blend into the pot until the melted in. Once completely thickened, turn off heat and set pot aside. 



Remove the bay leaf. 



Pour mixture into a baking safe casserole dish or spoon into small individual ramekins. Place your choice of vegan Phyllo sheets, biscuits, or puff pastry on top of pot pie mixture and brush top with the a little oil.



*If using pastry, brush the dough with a little oil and make 3 slits in the top. Sprinkle the top with salt, cracked pepper, and parsley flakes. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling hot.

Remove from oven and set to cool for as long as you can possibly stand NOT digging into it.  Serve by itself or with a fresh garden salad to make you feel better about yourself...and try not to lick the bowl. Enjoy!
