INGREDIENTS
- 1 package, Comrade Cluck
- 2 cans of Crescent Roll
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp each: thyme, parsley, oregano, basil
- 3 cups diced pot pie veggies (think potato, peas, carrot, parsnip, rutabaga, Brussels sprouts, turnip)
- 1/4 cup flour
- Better Than Bouillon No Chicken Base to make 2 cups (or fave veg stock)
- 1/4 cup non-diary milk

PREPARATION
THE FILLING
- Preheat oven to 375*
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in large sauce pan over medium heat
- Add onions & celery and Comrade Cluck shredded strips, cook until onions are translucent
- Stir in garlic, herbs and spices, cook for 30 seconds
- Add diced veggies, cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally
- Remove lid, add a 1-2 tbsp water if veggies are sticking (or white wine, you renegade!)
- Add flour and stir continuously for 2 minutes
- Slowly add brother & milk, stir well & bring to a boil
- Reduce heat and simmer until sauce is thick and veggies are tender
- Remove from heat and set aside
ROLL IT UP
- Separate 1 can of dough into 4 rectangles. On lightly grease large cookie sheet, arrange rectangles perpendicular to each other to form a cross. Corners of one side should touch while leaving a square space in the center. (See Figure 1)
- Separate dough from second can into 4 more rectangles. Arrange rectangles into an “X” that overlaps the cross, leaving an open circle in the center.
- Carefully spoon mixture around center of dough; shape into a ring leaving about 1/2 inch of dough in the center.
- Pull overhanging dough from outer edge towards center and over filling. Tuck and pinch dough under middle.
- Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until golden brown and thoroughly heated. Remove from cookie sheet to serving platter or cutting board. Cool 10 minutes before slicing.
