Let’s Get Started

You Will Need

Base filling
Top Crust

Here we are using the leftovers from the turkey meal to make the filling and A Quinoa Crusted top made using potatoes and cheese.

You could even use regular chicken or any other meat leftovers to make the same…It will definitely be as delicious as this Pot Pie !!!

Quinoa Top Crust

You will need :

2 Cups Cooked Quinoa
2 Cups Boiled Potatoes
Cheese of choice : I used Ricotta and Parmesan
Salt and Pepper
Butter or Olive Oil
2 tbsp Garlic Powder or finely minced garlic

To Boil Regular Quinoa : Follow the steps below

Step One : Wash and clean quinoa well.Add twice as much water as the quantity of dry quinoa.Since I used 2 cups quinoa I used 4 cups water.Add salt and pepper.

Step Two : Once the water comes to a roaring boil, reduce flame.Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until the liquid has almost evaporated.You will notice the scum collecting while its boiling, slowly remove it using a ladle.

Step Three : Fluff up the quinoa using a fork and Leave this covered for another 10 minutes.This helps to get the best results.

Step Four : Now you can add olive oil and mix well before using for any dish

Now that the Quinoa is ready, Let’s make the Top Crust

Just mash the potatoes into the boiled quinoa with all the other ingredients and make into a dough-ish consistency

I added in some Parmesan for extra flavour but you totally skip that part

Roll this in between cling wrap sheets or lunch sheets to avoid sticking to the rolling pin

You could cut out circles and place over the Filling Base when ready or you could just assemble them in broken bits.The choice is yours !! Didn’t feel too fancy today so I just placed this on top and it still looked good…

The Top Crust is ready and now you can start making the filling base to complete the Pot Pie
