Mushroom and Ale Pie
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup ale
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 8-10 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Pour in the ale and vegetable broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add the thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Transfer the mushroom and ale filling to a 9-inch pie dish. Roll out the puff pastry sheet to fit the top of the pie dish. Place the pastry over the filling and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the beaten egg over the pastry for a golden finish.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
