Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (20 oz) young green jackfruit in brine, drained and shredded
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium carrot, diced
- 1/2 cup peas (frozen or fresh)
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or chickpea flour for gluten-free option)
- 1 package of vegan pie crust (or homemade crust)
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
- Add the diced carrot and peas to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the shredded jackfruit, curry powder, turmeric, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to combine. Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, and stir until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool slightly. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Roll out one of the pie crusts and fit it into the prepared pie dish. Pour the jackfruit mixture into the crust.
- Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Seal the edges by crimping with a fork or pinching together with your fingers. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake the pie for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired.
Notes
- You can use puff pastry instead of pie crust for a lighter, flakier texture.
- For added richness, feel free to add a splash of soy sauce or tamari to the filling for extra umami flavor.
- If you prefer a spicier pie, add a chopped chili pepper to the filling or increase the curry powder to taste.
