Flour
For pie–set pie shell aside. Combine flour, yeast, salt, garlic powder and
tofu in a paper bag and shake. Saute the tofu mixture in the oil until
lightly browned. Add the onion, celery, and carrots and continue to saute
until the onions are soft, about 5 mins. Add the other veggies and cook
until the veggies are tender but crisp, about 5 mins.
Preheat the oven 375. Pour the gravy over the mixture in the skillet and
stir. Then pour into the pie shell. Roll out top dough and place on the
pie. Bake 30 mins or until crust is lightly browned.
Variation–for a different take on this dish, pour the veg mixture into an
uncovered casserole dish and top with crushed cornflakes. Bake 30 mins.
For gravy–In large saucepan, simmer all but flour for approx 5 mins.
Slowly add the flour, tablespoon by tablespoon whisking after each
addition, until desired thickenss is reached.
