Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 2 1/2 Cups All purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 3/4 Cup Vegan butter, cold (such as Earth Balance)
  • 1/2 Cup Ice cold water
  • Vegetable oil to brush tops of the crust

Filling

  • 2 Tablespoons Olive oil
  • 4 Cloves Garlic, chopped fine
  • 1/2 Cup Chopped yellow onion
  • 2 Large Yukon gold potatoes, diced
  • 2 Large Carrots, chopped
  • 4 Ounces Shiitake mushrooms, sliced
  • 10 Ounces Baby bella mushrooms, chopped
  • 10 Ounces Button mushrooms, chopped
  • 6 Ounces Portobello mushrooms, chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon Tomato paste
  • 1 Cup Vegan Stout beer (e.g., Sierra Nevada Stout)
  • 1 Cup Vegetable broth
  • 1 Tablespoon Soy sauce or Tamari
  • 1 Sprig Fresh Thyme
  • 1 Sprig Fresh Rosemary
  • 2 teaspoons Corn starch
  • 2 teaspoons Water
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pie Crust: Sift the all-purpose flour into a large mixing bowl, add the salt, and stir to combine evenly.
  2. Incorporate the Vegan Butter: Break the cold vegan butter into small pieces, scatter over the flour, then use your fingers or a fork to press and pinch the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles sand or dirt in texture.
  3. Add Cold Water and Form Dough: Gradually pour the ice cold water into the bowl, stirring until the dough becomes too stiff to stir, then knead with your hands until forming a smooth ball. Cover and refrigerate the dough while preparing the filling.
  4. Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large pot. Add chopped garlic and onion, sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
  5. Add Root Vegetables: Add diced Yukon gold potatoes and carrots to the pot, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 10 minutes to start softening the vegetables.
  6. Add Mushrooms: Add all the varieties of mushrooms to the pot, toss with the vegetables, and sauté for about 10 more minutes until the mushrooms release their liquid and start to brown. Season again with salt and pepper.
  7. Incorporate Tomato Paste: Stir in the tomato paste to coat the vegetable mixture evenly.
  8. Add Stout Beer: Pour the vegan stout beer into the pot, scraping the bottom to loosen browned bits for added flavor.
  9. Add Liquids and Herbs: Add vegetable broth, soy sauce or tamari, fresh thyme and rosemary sprigs, and season with salt and pepper.
  10. Simmer Filling: Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer the filling for 5-7 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  11. Thicken Filling: Whisk corn starch and water in a small bowl until smooth, add to the pot, and continue simmering for 2-3 minutes until the filling thickens slightly.
  12. Remove Herbs and Season: Discard thyme and rosemary sprigs. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.
  13. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).
  14. Prepare Pie Crust for Rolling: Remove pie dough from the fridge; if too firm, let sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before rolling.
  15. Divide Filling: Spoon the stout and vegetable filling evenly into 4 medium-sized ramekins or small baking dishes.
  16. Roll Out Dough and Cut Circles: On a floured surface, roll out the pie dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut 4 circles slightly larger than the ramekins.
  17. Cover and Seal Pies: Place each dough circle over the filled ramekins, pressing down around edges to seal. Pierce the top crust with a knife several times to allow steam to escape. Brush the tops with vegetable oil.
  18. Bake: Arrange the pies on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
  19. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm for a delicious vegan savory pie experience.

Notes

  • You can prepare the pie crust a day ahead and keep it refrigerated, wrapped tightly to save time.
  • Use a mix of mushrooms to maximize flavor and texture in the filling.
  • Make sure to pierce the pie crust tops to prevent sogginess by allowing steam to escape.
  • For a crispier crust, brush with a little more vegetable oil before baking.
  • This recipe can be doubled or adapted to larger pies using a deep-dish pie pan.
