Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup almond flour (for thickening)
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour (for crust)
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and peas. Cook until the vegetables are tender.
- Make the Gravy: Add tomato paste, beef broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir in almond flour for thickening and let simmer for a few minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Prepare the Almond Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups almond flour and cold butter. Use a fork or pastry blender to mix until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water until a dough forms.
- Assemble the Pot Pie: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Press the almond dough into a pie dish, ensuring an even layer. Pour the beef mixture into the crust.
- Top the Pie: Roll out any remaining dough for the top crust, or create a lattice design. Brush with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
