Tamale Pie

Source: Tastefully Vegan

 

Filling:

 

2 cups onion, chopped

1/2 cup green or red bell peppers, chopped

2 Tbsp. olive oil

1/2 cup tofu or soy burger*

2 oz. Old El Paso ® mild green chilies, chopped

2 cups canned beans, any combination of kidney, black and pinto beans

1 cup cut corn

15 oz. canned tomatoes, diced

2 tsp. Chili Powder

1 tsp. vegan 'beef-style' seasoning

1/2 tsp. cumin

1/2 tsp. onion salt

1/2 cup soy cheese, grated (optional)

1/4 cup black olives, sliced

 

 

Saute onions and bell peppers in olive oil until tender. Stir in burger and

chilies. Add the beans, corn and tomatoes and mix well. Add the chili powder,

beef-style seasoning, cumin and onion salt, stir until mixture begins to simmer

and remove from heat. The cheese and olives will be added later.

* tofu or soy burger is available at Walmart

 

Crust:

 

2 1/2 cups cold water

1 1/2 cups yellow corn meal

2 oz. Old El Paso® mild green chilies, chopped

1 1/2 tsp. chili powder

1 tsp. salt

 

In a non-stick saucepan, combine above ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring

constantly. Reduce eat, simmer and stir frequently until thick and sides pull

away from the pan, about 5 minutes. Coat a 10 inch deep dish pie pan with

no-stick cooking spray and pour about 2/3 of the corn meal mixture into the

bottom of the pan. Spray a rubber spatula with no-stick cooking spray and press

mixture over the bottom and sides of the pan. Pour filling into the pie pan and

level. Sprinkle (optional) grated soy cheese over the filling. Top with slced

black olives. Drop remaining corn meal evenly over the filling and with fingers

gently spread crust out to the edges. Flute the edges if desired. Bake at 350

degrees F, 45 - 50 minutes or until golden brown.

 

Yield: 10 inch pie

yum, that sounds good! and with a few adjustments (eg leaving out the

oil and tofu and soy cheese) it'll be low-fat enough for my husband to

eat.

thanks for all the recipes you post.

cheers

You're welcome, Alica. For this recipe, I leave the soy burger out as well.

.. .and the soy cheese. Funny how tastebuds change over time, huh. I'm sure

the olive oil wouldn't be missed either. If you can't find 'beef style'

seasoning that's vegan and gluten free, you can use gf tamari or soy

sauce --- or Bragg's Liquid Aminos -- and it should taste just as good.
