Vegetarian Mushroom Pot Pie With Garlic Green Beans Recipes

MUSHROOM POT PIE

Steps:

• Heat a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottom saucepan over low heat, then add 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the mushrooms along with a pinch of salt and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring periodically, to soften and release some of their natural liquid. Turn the heat up to medium and brown the mushrooms for several minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the pan, set aside, and turn the heat down to medium-low.
• Melt the remaining butter and add the onions, celery and carrots. Cook for 5-7 minutes until soft, stirring periodically, then add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Stir in the flour and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the brandy, stock, paprika, and cooked mushrooms.
• Bring to a simmer and allow the sauce to thicken, stirring periodically, for 3-5 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and remove from the heat. Add the truffle oil (if using), thyme, parsley, salt and pepper. Taste; add more seasoning if desired.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Divide the filling into four 8-ounce ramekins (approximately 4x2 inches) and place on a baking sheet.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry thin and cut 4 rounds approximately 1/2 - 1 inch larger than the width of the ramekins. Brush egg wash on the rim of each ramekin and 1/2 inch down the sides. Top with the puff pastry, folding the excess over and gently pressing it against the ramekins (a fork can also be lightly pressed against the puff to help seal it to the dish). Brush the top of the dough with egg wash and use a small knife to poke 3 small holes in the top of each pot pie.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Allow to cool briefly before serving.

VEGETARIAN MUSHROOM POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a large (approximately 9-inch by 13-inch size) baking dish by greasing it with butter or cooking spray. Set aside.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil and butter.
• Add the onions and garlic and saute until the onions soften and become slightly translucent.
• Add the mushrooms and continue to saute until the mushrooms begin to brown slightly and become nice and soft. The mushrooms will release some liquid, but continue cooking as it evaporates.
• Add the thyme and salt and pepper and stir to combine.
• Once the mushrooms begin to caramelize, add the red wine and stir well, scraping any caramelized bits off the bottom of the pan. Continue to cook as the wine cooks off, until there's almost no liquid left.
• When the liquid is gone, add the flour slowly, stirring so the white of the flour begins to disappear and form a paste over the mushroom mixture.
• Add the stock slowly, stirring well as it cooks to create a thick, creamy sauce.
• Stir in a pinch of nutmeg.
• Scrape the mushroom mixture into the prepared baking dish and top it with one sheet of puff pastry, tucking the edges of the puff pastry under to form a crust around the edges of the pan.
• Using your fingers, shape the edges into a soft, fluted shape (press the pastry with your right index finger in between your left thumb and index finger to create this shape).
• Dock the pastry topping with a fork in several places, or use a knife to make slits in the top. This will help the air escape while it's baking and keep the pastry in place as it bakes.
• Whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash and brush it all over the top of the uncooked pastry.
• Top with some flaky sea salt.
• Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit or until the pastry is golden brown.
• Serve hot from the oven (let stand for about 5 minutes before serving) with a sprinkling of fresh thyme leaves on top.

• Shred the mushrooms into thin strips.
• Preheat a skillet over medium low heat with a light drizzle of olive oil. Add the shredded mushrooms an toss to coat well. Sautee until completely wilted and they begin to show a little color around the edges.
• Push the mushrooms to the side of the pan and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the grated garlic and allow to sizzle until fragrant. Season with a small pinch of salt and toss to coat well with the mushrooms. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Preheat a heavy bottom pot over medium heat and saute the chopped leeks (or onion) in a drizzle of olive oil until wilted. Stir in the carrots and celery and continue cooking together until the vegetables have softened.
• Sprinkle in the flour and toss to coat well then pour in the wine. Stir until thickened then add the veggie stock together with the onion powder, nutritional yeast, bay leaves and thyme. Stir well until combined and bring to a simmer.
• Add the cashew cream, cooked mushrooms and green beans (or green peas) and continue cooking until the beans or peas are al dente. (The green beans will take about 8 to 10 minutes while the green peas only need a couple of minutes to warm through). Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper and remove from heat.
• Transfer the pot pie filling to an oven proof baking dish. I used a round 8 inch dish.
• Preheat your oven to 375"F.
• Meanwhile prepare the biscuits following this recipe and place each one on top of the pot pie filling. Bake in a preheated 375"F oven for 13 to 15 minutes until the biscuits are lightly golden on top. Remove the pot pie from the oven and allow to rest and set for a few minutes before serving.
• Make sure to defrost the phyllo in advance. Give each sheet a quick spray of olive oil and tear it into 4 pieces. Crumple each one in your hand just like you would a sheet of paper. Place on top pf the pot pie filling until covered. Bake at 375"F for 15 minutes or so until the phyllo is lightly golden and crispy.
