Ingredients 

  • 1 cup button mushrooms sliced
  • 1 cup Oyster mushroom sliced
  • ¼ cup wild mushrooms dried
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 shallot sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp thyme fresh
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper

For the sauce:

  • 1 Tbsp butter vegan or dairy
  • 2 Tbsp flour
  • 1 cup coconut milk or buttermilk; though canned coconut milk gives it a nice flavor.
  • ⅛ tsp nutmeg ground
  • salt and pepper to taste

For the pastry:

  • 1 sheet puff pastry vegan or regular
  • 2 Tbsp milk vegan or dairy
  • 1 Tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Add the dry mushrooms in a medium bowl. Cover with boiled water and set aside to soak for about 30 minutes.
  • Remove the mushrooms from the water, chop and set aside. Save 1 cup of water for later.
  • Add the olive oil to a large saucepan on medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic and saute for 2 minutes, to soften.
  • Add all the mushrooms, thyme, salt and pepper and stir for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the butter on medium heat.
  • Add the flour and stir until well combined.
  • Slowly add in the milk, mushroom water, and whisk until you have a smooth, thick mixture.
  • Stir in the nutmeg and season with salt and pepper.
  • Combine the cooked shallots, garlic and mushrooms with the sauce and leave to cool for about 7 minutes.
  • In a baking pan, add the mushroom mixture, cover with pastry, brush with vegan milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • With a sharp knife, make cuts on top of the pie.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes or until golden on top.
