Tuna Pot Pie

Ingredients 

Crust:

  • 1 cup almond flour + some extra for rolling dough out
  • 1 large egg white
  • teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 egg + 1 tablespoon of water

Filling:

  • 1 ½ Tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 pound russet potatoes, divided (peeled and cut into 1/2" dice)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • cup full fat coconut milk, from a can
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 cans, 20 oz Safe Catch Tuna (I used albacore)
  • cup frozen peas
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme
  • ½ teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl combine 1 cup almond flour, 1 egg white, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon thyme and 1/2 teaspoon rosemary. Stir with a wooden spoon or hands until it comes together in a ball. On a flat surface like a counter or cutting board, sprinkle with almond flour then roll the dough out with a rolling pin (or bottle of wine :)) into 1/4 inch thickness. Cut circles out with a cookie cutter or lid for something. Set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet (12") over medium heat until hot. Add coconut oil and then onions. Saute 10 to 12 minutes until soft and translucent, stirring occasionally. Add 1/2 of the potatoes and chicken broth. Raise heat to high until broth is boiling. Immediately lower to a simmer and cook 6 to 8 minutes or until potatoes are just fork tender but still somewhat firm in the middle.
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer potato chunks from skillet to a blender or food processor. Add the coconut milk to the potatoes in the blender and process until smooth and creamy the set aside.
  • Add carrots and remaining potatoes to pan along with salt, and pepper. Raise heat to medium and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until vegetables are just starting to soften. Add tuna, frozen peas and chopped thyme and rosemary. Cook 1 to 2 minutes to heat through.
  • Slowly stir in creamy potato and coconut milk mixture. Remove from heat and pour into a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Top with circle cut outs of crust and brush the crust with the egg wash mixture of 1 egg & 1 tablespoon of water. Bake for 30 minutes or until crust is browned and cooked through.
