    Mushroom Bourguinonne Pot Pie

    Juicy cremini mushrooms are simmered in a herbed red wine broth and baked up in a flaky puff pastry crust to create this hearty and flavorful vegan Mushroom Bourguignonne Pot Pie. 

    Mushroom Bourguinonne Pot Pie

    Vegetarian food is pretty uncomplicated. Well, it’s less complicated than non-vegetarian food anyway. I can remember sitting in high school cooking class and listening to my teacher rattle off a bunch of details on different ways of cooking meat, proper temperatures, stuff like that, and thinking “Awesome! There’s a bunch of things I don’t need to worry about.”

    These days I become most aware of how simple vegetarian cooking is when I adapt a recipe like this one. The original is described as a “weekend project.”

    My version, which uses mushrooms instead of beef, was more along the lines of a Saturday afternoon detour, with plenty of down time to clean up after myself.

    While this isn’t exactly a meal that gets thrown together in minutes, you could manage it on a weeknight if you make the stew a day or so in advance.

    Be sure to thaw your puff pastry if you do make the stew ahead, and when you’re ready to bake, just roll it out, line your dish, fill, top and bake.

    You can even try your hand at making your own vegan puff pastry if you're feeling ambitious!

    Mushroom Bourguinonne Pot Pie

    The resulting pot pie is totally delicious and just as impressive as the original. Cremini mushrooms give this bourguignonne stew lots of meaty texture and savory flavor.

    I upped the amount of whiskey and wine over the original recipe to add even more savory flavor, and threw in a bit of liquid smoke to make up for the omission of bacon.

    This is one of those dinners you could serve to guests and nobody would’ve ever guessed it was vegan. And it's pretty enough to make an appearance at your holiday table too!

    Equipment

    • 8 inch square baking dish

    Ingredients

    • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
    • 1 ½ pounds cremini mushrooms cleaned, stemmed and sliced
    • 1 onion diced
    • 1 cup chopped carrots about 3-4 carrots
    • 1 leek white and pale green part, cleaned and chopped
    • 3 garlic cloves minced
    • ¼ cup whiskey
    • ½ cup fresh parsley finely chopped
    • 2 cups dry full bodied, red wine divided
    • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
    • 1 cup vegetable broth
    • 1 ½ cups pearl onions fresh and peeled or frozen
    • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
    • 1 bay leaf
    • ½ - 1 teaspoon liquid smoke to taste
    • salt and pepper to taste
    • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry about ½ pound each, thawed
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Coat the bottom of a large pot with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and place it over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the mushrooms, placing them in as even a layer as possible. Cook until the mushrooms begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook 5 minutes more, until browned on the other side. Remove the mushrooms from the pot and transfer to a plate.
    • Recoat the bottom of the pot with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the onion, carrots and leek. Sauté until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more. Add the whiskey and parsley, stir to incorporate and simmer until most of the whiskey has evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Add 1 cup of red wine and bring to a simmer.
    • Add the flour, one tablespoon at a time, stirring constantly, until the flour forms a smooth paste with cooking liquid. Return mushrooms to the pot and add the remaining wine, broth, pearl onions, thyme and bay leaf. Stir a few times to incorporate.
    • Raise heat and bring to a slow boil, then lower heat and simmer until the liquid is thick and the carrots are fork tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat. Discard the bay leaf and season with liquid smoke, salt and pepper to taste.
    • Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with an oil mister or cooking spray.
    • Roll one sheet of puff pastry until it's large enough to cover the bottom and sides of dish, with about an inch overhang. Place the puff pastry into the baking dish and allow the center to fall into the dish, pressing very gently until the sheet conforms to the inside. Pour the mushroom stew into the dish, over the puff pastry sheet.
    • Roll the other puff pastry sheet until it's large enough to cover the dish. Place this sheet over the top of the dish, covering the stew completely. Pinch the edges of the top and bottom puff pastry sheets together and trim any edges that hang more than an inch or so below the top edges of the dish. Cut a few slits into the top sheet of puff pastry to vent steam.
    • Bake until the crust is puffy and lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to sit for about 5 minutes before serving.

    Notes

    Check the ingredients list on your puff pastry if you want to keep this vegan. Many (but not all) store bought brands are vegan, with Pepperidge Farm being one widely available vegan brand. Or you can make your own vegan puff pastry.
    You can make the stew a day or two in advance. Store it in a sealed container in the refrigerator until the day of serving.

      Is the parsley just for garnish? Making this now, it smells so good! Thanks 🙂

        Hi Jenna! Eek! So sorry for overlooking that in the instructions! It actually goes in with the whiskey - I just updated the post to include that instruction. I don't think it will make a huge difference since the parsley adds a relatively mild flavor, but I hope everything worked out okay and you were able to enjoy this.

      Would red wine work in the place of whiskey? We drink a lot more of the former, and always have on hand. Thanks!

        You could swap out some extra wine for the whiskey. The flavor won't be quite the same but it will still be tasty, I'm sure. 🙂 Enjoy!

      Made this tonight, it was amazing! Whole family loved it.

      Exactly when are the mushrooms supposed to return to the rest of the ingredients? I took a wild guess and added them back in during the final simmer-down. It came out great, but do you do something different?

        Thanks so much Darryn! Glad you enjoyed it! This was one of our favorites in my house too. 🙂 You added the mushrooms at the right time. Sorry about that! I just corrected it.

      We usually love potpie but this was truly inedible. We followed the instructions precisely and didn't make any substitutions and it tasted like a bowl of onions drowning in alcohol.

      We were suspicious from the beginning of the absurd amount of onions — an entire medium onion plus a leek plus 1.5 cups of pearl onions?! We were also weary of adding that much alcohol, since we often cook with wine and liquor — 2.25 cups is way too much for such a small amount of vegetables to absorb.

      We tried to choke it down, but we couldn't and threw the whole thing out. Such a disappointing waste of time and ingredients. If you want an easy, tasty potpie, I'd suggest making this one instead: http://minimalistbaker.com/1-hour-vegan-pot-pies/

      Has anyone put soy bacon in? If so, how much?

      I would love to try your recipes, but how about adding a printable version? I had to get pretty creative with my printer to get 3 pages of really fine print with a lot of unnecessary images and blank spaces on the right side of each page. If there is a link to a printable version, tell me how to find it please!

      Thank you.
