Ingredients

For the crust:

3 cups whole wheat pastry flour

¾ C vegan margarine

½ tsp salt

½ C cold water

 

 

For the filling:

1 tin romano beans, well washed and drained

3 cloves garlic

1 small yellow onion

1 large potato, quartered

 

1 large carrot, grated

½ C rolled oats

10 button mushrooms, diced

1 C unsweetened chestnut puree OR 1 C chestnut meal

1 tbsp each: tamari, sesame oil, savoury, sage, celery seed

½ tsp ground cloves

 

Sour cream (optional, for garnish)

Preparation Instructions

For the crust

 

Preheat the oven to 350F and soften the margarine until it is easy to mash with a fork, but not too soft

 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and margarine

 

Blend with a fork OR your clean hands until the mixture has a texture like bread crumbs

 

Add the cold water and quickly blend the mixture into a dough (be careful not to overmix)

 

On a floured surface, roll out half the pie dough, then transfer it to a well-greased 9” pie dish (set the other half of the dough aside, in the fridge)

 

Bake at for 8 minutes, then remove from oven and set aside to cool

 

 

For the filling

 

Preheat the oven to 375F

 

In a food processor fitted with an S-blade, blend the onion, garlic, potato, and romano beans until roughly chopped

 

Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl and add the mushrooms, grated carrot, chestnut meal, rolled oats, sesame oil, and seasonings

 

Mix with a spoon or a spatula until everything is well-combined

 

Transfer the filling to the pie crust and distribute it evenly, then set it aside

 

On a floured surface, roll out the other half of the pie dough, and use it to cover the pie, trimming the excess and sealing the edges using a fork. Remember to cut air vents in the top of the shell

 

Bake for 30 minutes, or until the crust is a rich brown in colour

 

Serve with sour cream (if desired) and enjoy
