Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil plus 2 tsp, divided
- 1 cup Finely chopped onion
- ½ cup Diced carrot
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tsp Chopped fresh thyme or ¾ tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp Fresh rosemary minced or ¼ teaspoon dried
- 8 cups Kale, chopped (1 small-to-medium bunch)
- ¼ cup Whole-wheat white flour
- 3 cups Low-sodium vegetable broth or chicken-free broth
- 1 rinsed 15-ounce can of White beans
- ½ tsp Kosher salt
- ½ tsp Ground pepper
For Chive Biscuits:
- 1 cup Whole-wheat white flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- ¼ tsp Baking soda
- ¼ tsp Kosher salt
- ¼ tsp Crushed pepper
- 3 tbsp Chilled butter, sliced into small cubes
- 3 tbsp Fresh chives, minced
- ½ cup Chilled buttermilk
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet (or a 2-quart baking dish of equivalent size) with cooking spray.
In a big pot, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Cook occasionally, stirring, for 4 to 6 minutes, until the onion, carrot, and celery are tender. Cook and keep stirring until the garlic, thyme, and rosemary are fragrant for about 30 seconds. Toss the kale often for 3 to 5 minutes or until tender and wilted.
- Cook with constant stirring for 30 seconds after adding ¼ cup flour. Stir in the broth, then increase the heat to high and bring it to a boil.
- Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, constantly stirring, for 2 minutes or until thickened.
- Add the beans and ½ teaspoon of salt and pepper to taste. Pour the ingredients into the prepared pan.
To make the biscuits: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pepper. Cut or rub the butter into the dry ingredients with a pastry blender or your fingers. Stir in the chives. Stir in the buttermilk until just blended.
- Make 6 biscuits out of the dough and arrange them on top of the veggie mixture. Brush lightly with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Place the pot pie on a baking pan and bake for 30 minutes.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until the biscuits are lightly browned and the filling is bubbling. Allow cooling for 5 minutes before serving.
