Ingredients (serves 2 large portions,\u00a0adjust as needed):<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n
\n
- 2 pounds Potatoes, peeled and cubed<\/li>\n
- 2 cups Baby Carrots, halved<\/li>\n
- 1 can Chick Peas\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- Optional: Impossible Sausage Brats (2, slice as coins) or vegan meat sub<\/li>\n
- \u00bd large Onion, sliced\u00a0<\/li>\n
- 2-3 cloves garlic, diced<\/li>\n
- 1 cup warm water<\/li>\n
- 2 tsp Better than Bouillon (or your favorite homemade or store bought stock and omit water)<\/li>\n
- Green Peas, frozen is fine (1 bag lasts a while)\u00a0<\/li>\n
- Vegan Butter<\/li>\n
- Flour (Gluten Free works GREAT)<\/li>\n
- Salt, Pepper to taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Method<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/b><\/p>\n
IF YOU HAVE A STEAMER POT – makes things easier. If not, improvise\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
PRE HEAT OVEN to 420f<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
Boil water sufficient to cover potatoes plus 2 inches. Add salt and potatoes. Add steamer pot lid – and put carrots, chick peas, and impossible sausage (if using) in the steamer basket. Add lid. Boil about 15 minutes or until potatoes are fork-soft.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a separate pan, toward the end of the 15 minute potato boil, saut\u00e9 garlic and onions in olive oil until translucent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When potatoes are done, add the carrots, chick peas, and impossible sausage (if using) to the onions and continue to saut\u00e9 for 1-2 minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n
Add 1-1.5 cups broth or prepared better-than-Bouillon made with water<\/p>\n
Stir just to mix in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Add 2 tbsp (give or take) of flour to thicken. \u00a0Continue to cook on medium to medium high heat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once you’re satisfied with the consistency and the doneness of the mixture, remove from heat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Drain potatoes, add 1 tbsp vegan butter and a pinch of salt and pepper, and mash by hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then, taking the mixture of carrots and chickpeas and etc., line the lower \u2154 of an oven-safe baking dish (like La Creuset single-servings) or a casserole dish if you are going that route. Either is fine, but single servings from the oven are awesome.<\/p>\n
\n
Spread the potatoes on top of each dish… about \u00bd inch deep, give or take. Lightly pepper the tops.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Put ’em in the oven for about 20-25 minutes – watch that the potatoes don’t burn. \u00a0Probably want to put the dishes on top of a baking tray to save your oven from unnecessary spillage. This stuff may boil over with goodness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
YOU MIGHT WANT to cut up some broccoli, lightly toss in olive oil and salt and pepper, spread evenly on a baking tray and put them in at the same time (we like them charred).\u00a0<\/p>\n
If you’re doing the broccoli, it should finish at about the same time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
IF you feel like it is cooked, but you’d like more color, you can turn on the broiler for just a few minutes (but watch closely – potatoes burn really fast under a high broiler). \u00a0<\/p>\n

And thanks for reading!<\/p>\n
Buen Provecho! <\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
