ROUX & SAUCE

3 Tbsp butter

3 Tbsp all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups vegetable or chicken broth

1/2 cup evaporated milk or regular milk

1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Pre-Cook the Vegetables

Sauté onion, celery, carrots, and mushrooms in butter or oil until softened. Add potatoes and cook until just tender. Stir in peas last and remove from heat.

2. Make the Creamy Rosemary Sauce

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook 2–3 minutes to form a light roux. Slowly whisk in broth until smooth. Add evaporated milk and simmer until thickened. Season with rosemary, salt, pepper, and optional Cajun seasoning.

3. Combine

Fold the cooked vegetables into the creamy rosemary sauce until evenly coated.

4. Assemble the Pot Pie

Line a pie dish with the bottom pie shell. Add filling. Top with second pie shell if using. Crimp edges and brush with egg wash.

5. Bake

Bake at 375°F for 30–40 minutes until golden and bubbly. Cool 10–15 minutes before slicing.
