Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened plant-based milk
  • 1 cup cooked green lentils
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1 sheet vegan puff pastry or pie crust
  • 1 tablespoon plant-based milk (for brushing crust)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add diced onion, garlic, celery, and carrots. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until vegetables are softened.
  4. Add mushrooms, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and paprika. Cook for another 5 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle in flour and stir to coat the vegetables evenly.
  6. Pour in vegetable broth and plant-based milk. Stir until thickened, about 3–5 minutes.
  7. Stir in cooked lentils and frozen peas. Remove from heat and set aside.
  8. Roll out vegan puff pastry or pie crust and place into a pie dish.
  9. Fill crust with the vegetable-lentil mixture and cover with a second layer of pastry, sealing edges well.
  10. Brush the top crust with plant-based milk and cut a few slits to allow steam to escape.
  11. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.
  12. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can prep the filling a day ahead and assemble just before baking.
  • Feel free to substitute lentils with chickpeas or white beans.
  • Make it gluten-free by using a gluten-free crust and flour.
