Mushroom bourguignon pie
Mushroom bourguignon pie is a delightful plant-based pie recipe to try out. It’s meaty, loaded with plant protein, flavor, and crunch! I topped this pie with filo pastry pockets, which gives it a very interesting look and feel, dare I say it’s the best savory pie around…I think I just did!

Mushroom bourguignon pie
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp good quality olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic crushed
- 1 medium red onion diced
- 2 cups brown button mushrooms diced
- 1 cup canned or soaked brown lentil mushrooms
- 1/4 cup dry red wine
- 1/2 cup chopped and peeled carrots
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 1 tsp fresh or dried thyme
- 1/4 tsp onion flakes
- 2 tsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
- 1/2 cup vegetable stock
- 1 tbsp corn starch mixed with 1/4 cup of water
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh filo pastry
- Melted vegan butter
- 1 cup baby spinach
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celcius.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan, add in the garlic and red onion and fry until fragrant.
- Add in the mushrooms, and fry a bit further for a few minutes before adding in the lentils, carrots, celery, thyme, and onion flakes.
- Let it cook for 5-8 minutes before adding in the tomato paste, soy sauce, and vegetable stock.
- Place on the lid and let it simmer for 10 minutes before adding in the baby spinach, corn starch, and nutritional yeast before turning down the heat.
- Pour the mushroom filling into the desired dish of choice.
- Roll out the filo pastry sheets, use four layers, and place the rest of the filo in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Cut the filo pastry into four equal parts and then brush each square part with butter in between every layer and place them scrunched up on to the mushroom layer.
- Brush the edges with more butter and then place in the oven to bake for 15-20 minutes until brown and crunchy on top.
Notes
- The filo pastry can be subbed with puff pastry, just check the ingredients to see if it’s made with vegetable oil.
- The button mushrooms can be replaced with other mushrooms of choice.
- Other lentils like green or beluga lentils can be used.
Hope, you love this super delicious pie recipe, the added crunch of the filo really adds that something extra!
