The Flavors. A thick, savory-sweet yam biscuit crust wraps this pie. Inside is a rainbow of Greenmarket ingredients including: roasted red carrots, caramelized roasted red onions, chunks of baked sweet potato, organic tofu cubes, a hint of green edamame beans, fresh herbs, nutritional yeast and a soy milk liquid base.Fresh herbs. I highly recommend using a pinch of fresh herbs when you roast your onion/carrots. I found my bunch of fresh herbs in a bin at the Greenmarket marked "fresh herbs". And to be honest, I wasn't 100% sure what my herb was! Any herb-experts want to help me out?? :) At first I though it was oregano. Then by closer inspection I thought it might be Marjoram. What do you think? Whatever it was, it worked perfectly in my pie.Name this herb... (thanks)This recipe turned out better than I had planned. If you want a fork-ful of intense veggie flavor - a true "meal on a plate" - try making this Pot Pie for your next cozy fall night dinner.Note, if you don't have nutritional yeast (used throughout the recipe) that is OK. imply sub with a few additional spices. Maybe a pinch of garlic powder or even something musty and savory like cumin. But, try finding nutritional yeast - I love the stuff.Crust Anxiety? I really don't stress about making my pie crust look perfect. I go for the 'rustic' look. The flavor shines through. But if you want to be Martha Stewart with the pie crust crimped edges and all - go for it! Last thing, there are several parts to this recipe, but don't let that frustrate you. Making a pot pie is actually a lot easier than the recipe looks! Simply prep your filling, make your crust, assemble your pie and bake!

You can turn the heat up to med-high to get it boiling a bit. But turn back down to med-low when you start the next step..

Add in your edamame to the roux/liquid. I added mine directly from the freezer and they warmed in the bubbling mixture. Next I folded in the tofu cubes. Then the roasted veggies. Fold well until the ingredients are coated with the sauce. Lastly, I pulled my sweet potato from the fridge, peeled it and sliced it into large cubes. Then folded those into the mixture, gently. Once the filling is made, set it aside while you assemble your pie crust.
