INGREDIENT NOTES:
POTATOES:
- They make the pie more filling and give it a hearty texture. Potatoes absorb the moisture of the tomatoes while baking. You may use sweet potato as per your preference.
TOMATOES:
- These tomatoes add freshness and a natural sweet taste to the dish. They give beautiful color and work well in the recipe. You may use cherry tomatoes as another choice.
GREEN CHILI PEPPERS:
- They give a fresh, spicy taste to the pie and maintain the richness of vegan cheese. You may use green bell pepper as an alternative.
GROUND FLAXSEED:
- It makes a thick gel after mixing with water to bind the flour and vegetables together. You may use commercial vegan egg replacer as a substitute.
ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR:
- It provides structure to the pie and makes the batter soft. You may use gluten-free baking flour as another choice.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First, mix water and ground flaxseed for ten minutes in a small bowl.
- Cut the peeled potatoes into very small pieces and slice the green onions.
- Chop the tomatoes and green chili peppers finely.
- Warm the oven to 350°F and grease the dish with vegetable oil.
- Mix flax mixture, vegan milk, vegetable oil, flour, salt, baking powder, black pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl.
- Fold in chopped potatoes, tomatoes, green chili peppers, and green onions gently.
