  • Total Time: 1 hour 25 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Mushroom Mixture

  • 4 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 pounds mixed mushrooms (portobello, cremini, white button, shiitake, oyster), cut into 1-inch chunks (about 10 cups)
  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup diced peeled carrots (from 2 medium carrots, cut into ½-inch pieces)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Tablespoon tomato paste
  • ¼ cup flour (plus more for dusting)
  • 3 cups chopped kale (stems removed)
  • 1 cup dry red wine
  • 1½ cups beef stock or vegetable stock
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 Tablespoon soy sauce (plus more to taste)
  • ¾ cup heavy cream (plus 1 Tablespoon for egg wash)

Topping

  • 1 sheet puff pastry (about 9 ounces, thawed)
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the pot pie.
  2. Sauté Mushrooms Part 1: In a large 12-inch ovenproof skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add half of the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook undisturbed for about 3 minutes until browned. Stir and continue cooking for another 3 minutes until all sides are browned. Transfer mushrooms to a medium bowl.
  3. Sauté Mushrooms Part 2: Repeat the process with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the rest of the mushrooms. Transfer to the same medium bowl with the first batch.
  4. Cook Vegetables: Reduce heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the chopped onion and carrots. Cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add Aromatics and Flour: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for an additional minute to form a roux.
  6. Simmer with Liquids and Greens: Add chopped kale, red wine, beef or vegetable stock, dried thyme, and soy sauce to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 3 minutes until the kale starts to soften.
  7. Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream to create a luscious sauce.
  8. Combine Mushrooms and Season: Return the sautéed mushrooms to the skillet and mix well. Adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce, salt, and pepper to taste.
  9. Prepare Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until large enough to cover the skillet. Trim into a circle matching the skillet’s diameter.
  10. Cover and Decorate: Place the puff pastry over the mushroom filling in the skillet. Crimp edges with a fork if desired and create a stripe pattern on top by gently scoring the pastry with a paring knife without cutting through.
  11. Brush Egg Wash: Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of heavy cream and lightly brush this mixture over the puff pastry to ensure a golden finish.
  12. Bake: Place the skillet on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes until the puff pastry is puffed and golden brown.
  13. Rest and Serve: Allow the pot pie to rest for 10 minutes before serving to let the filling set and to avoid burns.

Notes

  • You can substitute beef stock with vegetable stock for a fully vegetarian dish.
  • Use a mix of mushrooms for varied textures and flavors.
  • Puff pastry should be thawed but kept cold to ensure puffiness when baking.
  • Letting the pie rest after baking helps the filling thicken and makes it easier to serve.
  • Season carefully; soy sauce adds saltiness, so adjust additional salt accordingly.
