Chickpea Potpies Recipe

Chickpea Potpies

1 small onion, chopped

6 Tbsp. butter

2 garlic cloves, minced

6 Tbsp. flour

½ tsp. salt

¼ tsp. pepper

3 cups vegetable broth

2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed

1 can (15 oz.) garbanzo beans or chickpeas, rinsed and drained

1 ¼ cups frozen cubed hash brown potatoes

¼ cup heavy whipping cream

¾ tsp. Italian seasoning

1 sheet refrigerated pie pastry

Saute onion in butter in a large saucepan until tender.  Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.  Stir in the flour, salt and pepper until blended.  Gradually add broth; bring to a boil.  Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.

Stir in the vegetables, garbanzo beans, potatoes, cream and Italian seasoning.  Divide mixture among four ungreased 10 oz. ramekins.

Unroll pastry; divide into four portions.  Roll out each portion to fit ramekins; place pastry over filling.  Trim, seal and flute edges.  Cut slits in pastry.  Place ramekins on a baking sheet.

Bake at 400 F. for 25-30 minutes or until pastry is golden brown.         4 serving
