Ingredients

  • 1 lb pork tenderloin, diced
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

How to Make Savory Pork and Vegetable Pot Pie

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced pork tenderloin and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Stir in the diced carrots and potatoes, cooking for another 5 minutes.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and add the dried thyme. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  6. If you prefer a thicker filling, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water and stir it into the pot. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  7. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the frozen peas. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  8. Transfer the filling to a 9-inch pie dish or oven-safe skillet.
  9. Roll out the puff pastry and place it over the filling, trimming any excess. Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
  10. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
  12. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure the puff pastry is fully thawed before using it to ensure it puffs properly.
  • Feel free to mix and match vegetables based on what you have; green beans or corn make great additions.
  • For an extra layer of flavor, add a splash of white wine when cooking the pork.

Easy Variations

  • Swap pork for chicken or turkey for a different protein twist.
  • Use a mix of fresh herbs like rosemary or parsley for a flavor boost.
  • For a creamier filling, stir in a splash of heavy cream before transferring to the pie dish.

What to Serve With It

  • A simple green salad with a vinaigrette
  • Crusty bread to soak up the filling
  • Steamed broccoli or green beans for added nutrition

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes or until heated through.
