MUSHROOM POTPIE
Dried porcini mushrooms and caramelized fresh mushrooms give this dish plenty of deep, earthy flavor. Sweet parsnips, garlicky kale, carrots and potatoes round out the mushroom filling, but if those don't suit you, the filling is fully flexible. Substitute butternut squash, celery root or just about any root vegetable for the carrots, parsnips and potatoes. The entire dish cooks in a large ovenproof skillet, but you could also transfer the filling to buttered ramekins for individual pies, or divide the mixture between two 8-inch pie dishes for two separate pies. Rich and creamy, it feeds a crowd, and can easily be prepared in advance: Refrigerate the cooked filling overnight, then warm it on the stovetop, assemble and bake. The results justify the effort.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Bring 2 cups of water to boil in a small pot. Place the porcini mushrooms in a medium bowl and pour the boiling water on top; set aside to soak and soften.
- Meanwhile, in a large (12-inch) ovenproof skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Working in two batches so the mushrooms brown evenly, add half the oyster mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook, undisturbed, until browned underneath, about 3 minutes. Stir the mushrooms, then continue to cook until browned all over, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Repeat with 2 tablespoons oil and the remaining oyster mushrooms; transfer them to the medium bowl. Add another 2 tablespoons oil, then add the cremini mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 6 to 8 minutes, lowering the heat as needed to avoid burning. Transfer to the bowl.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once the butter is melted, add the onion and cook until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the kale, garlic, thyme and rosemary, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes, adding 1 to 2 tablespoons oil if the pan seems dry. Sprinkle with the flour and cook, stirring, until flour is dispersed and lightly toasted, 2 minutes.
- Stirring constantly, gradually add the stock, cream and 3/4 cup of the liquid from the soaking porcini mushrooms. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, then stir in the carrots, parsnips, potatoes, and the sautéed mushrooms and any accumulated juices. Strain the soaked porcini mushrooms, discarding any remaining liquid, then roughly chop the mushrooms and stir them into the filling. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (If making ahead, the filling can be refrigerated a day in advance; just warm it up slightly before assembling and baking.)
- On a lightly dusted work surface using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the puff pastry into a roughly 14-inch circle. Transfer to the top of the skillet, allowing slight overhang, folding under and pinching any overhang just below the rim of the skillet. In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 teaspoon water. Lightly brush the egg wash over the top of the puff pastry, then cut 5 (2-inch) slits into the puff pastry, starting near the center and radiating outward, like the rays of the sun, or create a stripe or crisscross pattern in the puff pastry by gently scoring it with a paring knife without fully cutting through. Crimp the edges using the tines of a fork, if desired.
- Set the skillet on top of an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet and transfer to the middle rack of the oven. Bake until the puff pastry is puffed and golden, about 30 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Shred the mushrooms into thin strips.
- Preheat a skillet over medium low heat with a light drizzle of olive oil. Add the shredded mushrooms an toss to coat well. Sautee until completely wilted and they begin to show a little color around the edges.
- Push the mushrooms to the side of the pan and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the grated garlic and allow to sizzle until fragrant. Season with a small pinch of salt and toss to coat well with the mushrooms. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat a heavy bottom pot over medium heat and saute the chopped leeks (or onion) in a drizzle of olive oil until wilted. Stir in the carrots and celery and continue cooking together until the vegetables have softened.
- Sprinkle in the flour and toss to coat well then pour in the wine. Stir until thickened then add the veggie stock together with the onion powder, nutritional yeast, bay leaves and thyme. Stir well until combined and bring to a simmer.
- Add the cashew cream, cooked mushrooms and green beans (or green peas) and continue cooking until the beans or peas are al dente. (The green beans will take about 8 to 10 minutes while the green peas only need a couple of minutes to warm through). Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper and remove from heat.
- Transfer the pot pie filling to an oven proof baking dish. I used a round 8 inch dish.
- Preheat your oven to 375"F.
- Meanwhile prepare the biscuits following this recipe and place each one on top of the pot pie filling. Bake in a preheated 375"F oven for 13 to 15 minutes until the biscuits are lightly golden on top. Remove the pot pie from the oven and allow to rest and set for a few minutes before serving.
- Make sure to defrost the phyllo in advance. Give each sheet a quick spray of olive oil and tear it into 4 pieces. Crumple each one in your hand just like you would a sheet of paper. Place on top pf the pot pie filling until covered. Bake at 375"F for 15 minutes or so until the phyllo is lightly golden and crispy.

Steps:
- For the mushroom stock: In a large pot, combine onion, carrots, garlic, ground dried mushrooms, fresh white mushrooms and 10 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 1 1/2 hours; there will be about 4 cups. Pour through a strainer lined with cheesecloth, reserving stock and discarding the solids.
- Return stock to the pot, and add tomatoes. Place over high heat and boil until reduced by half. Strain into a clean pot, and return to medium heat. Knead together the butter and flour, and add to the broth. Simmer for 5 minutes, and add lemon juice, Madeira, and salt and pepper to taste. Cool the stock by placing the pot in a large bowl of ice, then cover and refrigerate until well-chilled. May be refrigerated for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 2 months.
- For the filling: In a large sauté pan over medium heat, melt the butter and add fresh wild or cultivated mushrooms. Sauté until the mushrooms release their liquid, 5 to 7 minutes, and immediately remove from heat. Add the liquid to the chilled mushroom stock. Cover and refrigerate the mushrooms until well-chilled; there should be about 1 cup cooked mushrooms.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and set aside a large bowl of ice water. Cook or blanch vegetable one at time until each is barely tender, about 10 minutes for fingerling potatoes, 5 minutes for whole baby carrots, parsnips or turnips. Leeks and squash do not need to be blanched. Remove the vegetables with a slotted spoon and place in the ice water to cool. When all vegetables are blanched and cooled, drain the vegetables, cover and refrigerate until well-chilled; there should be about 3 cups cooked vegetables.
- For assembly: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Divide chilled vegetables and mushrooms between two 1-quart ceramic soufflé dishes about 6 inches in diameter and 3 1/2 inches deep. Pour 1 cup chilled stock into each dish; reserve any remaining stock for another use. Top each dish with 1 tablespoon chopped herbs and 1/2 tablespoon truffle butter, if using.
- Cut rounds of puff pastry large enough to overhang the dish by 1 1/2 to 2 inches. In a small bowl or cup, beat the egg with the milk. Brush the edge of each round with the egg wash, then invert and place on the dish so the egg helps seal the dish. The puff pastry should not touch the filling or it won't puff when cooked. Brush tops of pies with remaining egg wash. Place dishes on a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes. Check to see if pastry is golden, and if necessary, bake 5 to 10 more minutes.
- To serve, run a sharp knife around the inside edge of each dish, lifting off the dome in one piece. Place the dome at an angle, top side down, and ladle the vegetables onto half the dome so they spill onto the plate like a cornucopia.

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your pot pie a more flavorful and colorful filling. Some good options include carrots, celery, onion, potatoes, peas, corn, and mushrooms.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender, but not mushy. If you're not sure how long to cook them, start with a shorter time and then check them regularly.
- Use a good quality broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your pot pie. If you can, use homemade broth. If you're using store-bought broth, choose one that is low in sodium.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings. Salt and pepper are always a good starting point, but you can also add other herbs and spices to taste. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, sage, and garlic powder.
- Make sure the pot pie is cooked through before serving. The best way to do this is to insert a toothpick into the center of the pie. If it comes out clean, the pie is done.
Conclusion:
Vegetable and mushroom pot pie is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold night. It's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a few simple tips, you can make a pot pie that is sure to please everyone at the table.
