For those looking for a lovely, vegan-friendly entrée for their holiday table, look no further! This savory pie has all of the hearty goodness of traditional beef Wellington. Using a ready-made pie crust eliminates the frustration of preparing a puff pastry wrap while still delivering all of the flavor!
1 9-inch double vegan pie crust
2 c butternut squash, diced into ½-inch pieces
1 lb whole cremini or white mushrooms
1 c walnut pieces
1-14 oz can lentils, rinsed and drained
2 c fresh spinach, chopped
2 Tbl vegan Worcestershire sauce
3 Tbl olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, diced
2 Tbl fresh thyme leaves
3 tsp fresh rosemary leaves
1 tsp dried sage
sea salt, to taste
Optional: cranberry sauce or vegan gravy
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, place squash and about half of the mushrooms. Drizzle with 1 Tbl olive oil and toss to coat evenly. Spread on a baking sheet and season with salt. Roast about 15 minutes, until squash pieces are tender. Set roasted squash pieces aside.
Place roasted mushrooms, walnuts, 1 Tbl thyme and 1 tsp rosemary in food processor. Pulse until oatmeal consistency. Set aside.
In a large frying pan over medium heat, sauté onion in 1 Tbl olive oil until translucent. Add garlic and sauté another two minutes. Add mushroom and walnut mixture and continue cooking until most of the liquid has evaporated. Spread mixture evenly into pie crust.
Slice remaining mushrooms into ¼ inch pieces. Sauté over medium heat with 1 Tbl olive oil about 5 minutes. Add lentils, 1 Tbl thyme, 2 tsp rosemary, 1 tsp sage and Worcestershire. Continue cooking another 3-5 minutes, until mixture is fragrant and heated throughout. Spread evenly into pie crust. Top with roasted squash pieces.
Place spinach leaves in frying pan over medium low heat until just wilted. Blot any excess moisture and spread evenly over squash. Season lightly with salt.
Seal pie with top crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes, until crust is deep golden brown. Best served while still warm from the oven.
Delicious with cranberry sauce or vegan gravy!
