Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Boil the Proteiz in 5-6 cups of boiling water for 5-6 minutes.  Drain the water.  Let cool and wring out excess water in dishtowel.  Chop product into small dice, the same size as the other vegetables.  If using the Gardein, thaw and cut in a small dice.
  3. Melt 2 T. vegan butter and set aside.
  4. Melt the remaining 1 T. butter in large skillet over medium heat.  Add the diced Proteiz/Gardein, celery, carrots onion and garlic, and cook until the veggies are starting to soften, 5-7 minutes.
  5. Unroll the puff pastry and cut 8 circles using one of the ramekin’s as a pattern to cut the dough.  Place the circle on the baking sheet.  Poke holes in the circles  with a fork – poke each circle 7 times. Brush with 2 T. of melted vegan butter. And a pinch of fresh cracked pepper to each circle.  Bake for 10 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle the flour over the veggies and stir until coated.  Add the spices, stock, soy milk and peas. Add ½ t. salt and pepper. Continue to cook until the sauce thickens, 3-5 minutes.  Taste again and add more salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Pour one cup of veggie mixture into each ramekin.  Place the cooked puff pastry circle on top of each and garnish with a sprig of rosemary and fresh ground black pepper.
