  2. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the onions and garlic and saute until onion is translucent, 1-2 minutes.
  3. Whisk in the flour, vegetabke broth and unsweetened almond milk. Then add the mixed vegetables, potato and vegan chicken or tofu, if using. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
  4. Pour the filling into the pie crust lined pan. Roll out the other pie crust and carefully cover the pie with it. Trim any overhang, and seal the edges with a fork or your fingers. Cut a few slits in the middle of the top crust.
  5. Bake for 45 minutes, until the crust is golden brown. Cut, serve and enjoy!
