Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 2 cups cooked lobster meat, chopped into bite-sized pieces Ensure it’s Halal
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups seafood stock Ensure it’s Halal
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Crust
  • 1 piece pie crust Store-bought or homemade, check it’s made with Halal ingredients
  • 1 egg beaten For egg wash

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed onions, stirring constantly to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the seafood stock and then the heavy cream. Cook until the mixture thickens, approximately 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the lobster meat, frozen peas, carrots, potatoes, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
  5. Pour the lobster filling into a baking dish. Roll out the pie crust and place it over the filling, trimming the edges. Cut slits in the top for steam to escape. Brush the crust with the beaten egg.
Baking
  1. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
  2. Once done, allow the pot pie to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

You can substitute lobster with shrimp or chicken, ensuring it's Halal. Avoid overcooking the filling; you want your vegetables to remain slightly crisp. Be careful not to preheat the oven too late.
