Cauliflower Pot Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Generously oil a 9-inch pie pan.
• Potato Crust: Place 2 firmly packed cups grated raw potatoes in a colander placed over a bowl; toss the potatoes with 1/2 teaspoon salt and set aside for 10 minutes. Squeeze out the excess water. Combine the drained potatoes, 1 large egg, beaten, and 1/4 cup grated onion in a medium bowl. Pat the potato mixture into the oiled pie pan, building up the sides of the crust with lightly floured fingers. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until golden brown, brushing the crust with oil after the first 20 minutes to crisp it.
• Remove crust from the oven and reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, beat together the eggs, milk, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
• Blanch cauliflower. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower, onions, garlic, and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of the remaining salt; cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the parsley, basil, and thyme; cook, covered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Trace 7 circles onto the parchment with a 3 1/2-inch round cutter.
• Add the cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave according to package directions. Let cool.
• Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the cauliflower, using a dish towel to wring out the moisture, then add to an empty bowl. Add remaining crust ingredients and mix to combine.
• Scoop 4 tablespoons of the mixture into each of the drawn circles on the baking sheet. Shape into a round disc, about 1/2 inch thick. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown, flipping halfway through.

• Garnish with chopped parsley. Top with fresh baked cauliflower crust.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a shallow 9 inch baking dish or pie pan.
• To make crust: Use a cheese cloth to squeeze extra liquid from the grated potatoes. In a medium size mixing bowl, combine potato, onion, egg, salt and flour. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pie pan, and pat it down with a rubber spatula or your fingertips. Bake for 30 minutes. Brush the crust with oil, and bake for another 10 minutes. Remove crust from oven, and reduce the oven's temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• To make the filling: In a large frying pan over a high heat, heat the oil until hot. Reduce the temperature to medium and saute onion, garlic, basil, thyme, salt, pepper and paprika in the hot oil; cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Stir the cauliflower into the pan and cook for 15 minutes.
