Servings: persons

2 cups (165 g) diced eggplant (1 small globe eggplant or 2 Asian eggplants)
1 package (8 ounces, or 225 g) tempeh, cut into 1/2-inch (1 cm) cubes
2 tablespoons (30 ml) water or olive oil
1 small-size yellow onion, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 teaspoon (2 g) fennel seeds
1 to 2 tablespoons (8 to 16 g) capers, rinsed
2 tablespoons (30 ml) balsamic vinegar
1 can or jar ( 15 ounces, or 420 g) tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes or hot sauce
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 2/3 cups (210 g) all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon (15 g) baking powder (look for aluminum-free)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup (160 ml) nondairy milk (soy, rice, almond, hazelnut, hemp, or oat)
1/3 cup (80 ml) canola oil or nondairy, nonhydrogenated butter (such as Earth Balance), melted

1
Preheat oven to 425u00b0F (220u00b0C, or gas mark 7). Coat 4 or 6 individual ramekins with oil, and set aside. You also can use a 9-inch (23 cm) square pan or a rectangular pan.
2
To make filling, steam eggplant and tempeh for 10 to 15 minutes, until eggplant is soft and translucent. At the same time, add water or oil to a large-size saute pan and cook onion and celery until soft. Add fennel seeds, capers, and vinegar, and saute for 1 minute. Add tomato sauce, red pepper flakes, and cooked tempeh and eggplant. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3
Meanwhile, prepare biscuit dough. Place flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl, and stir together. Pour in nondairy milk and butter or oil, and mix just until dry ingredients are evenly moistened. The dough should be lumpy and sticky, not smooth like cake batter.
4
Remove saute pan from heat, and season filling with salt and pepper, to taste.
5
Divide filling evenly among prepared ramekins. Drop dough by small spoonfuls on top of each ramekin. Carefully spread dough with back of spoon so it evenly covers filling. Bake pot pies until crust is golden, about 15 minutes. Serve hot.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
