Servings: to 8
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegan buttery spread plus extra for the pan
- 1 ½ pounds sweet potatoes
- 1 ½ cups rice milk or other nondairy milk
- 1 tablespoon dark miso such as hatch
- 2 cups chopped onion
- 2 cups fresh cremini/brown or button mushrooms sliced
- 2 large carrots chopped
- 2 ribs celery chopped
- ½ cup white wine
- 2 tablespoons chickpea flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chopped mustard greens or kale
- 1 cup shelled frozen edamame fresh green soybeans, thawed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly oil a 2-quart casserole dish.
- Bake the sweet potatoes until very tender. Let them cool until you can handle them.
- Strip off the skins, drop the flesh into a food processor, and puree until smooth, scraping down the sides occasionally. Add ½ cup of the nondairy milk and the miso and puree to mix well. Set aside.
- In a large pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions, mushrooms, carrots, and celery, stirring frequently, until the carrots are crisp-tender and the mushrooms are softened.
- Add the wine and bring to a boil, stirring until the pan is dry. Sprinkle the flour over the contents of the pan and stir to coat the vegetables evenly.
- Drizzle in the remaining cup of nondairy milk, add the salt, and stir constantly to mix well. Cook until the sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the greens and edamame and transfer the contents to the prepared pan.
- Dollop the sweet potato mixture over the filling and spread it to make an even topping.
- Bake uncovered, until it is bubbling around the edges and browned on top, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve hot.

It's great! But adding gardein chick'n scallopini and some thyme/sage or poultry seasoning plus s+p makes it even better! I also added another tsp of chickpea flour to mine. I used coconut milk. Cheers.
