Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 package pre-made pie crust (top and bottom)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, carrots, celery, and mushrooms. Cook for 6-8 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Add the frozen peas and baby spinach, stirring until the spinach wilts. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to create a roux and cook for 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in the vegetable broth and cream until smooth. Continue cooking until thickened, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Combine with the cooked vegetable mixture.
Roll out one of the pie crusts and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.
Pour the vegetable filling into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the filling with the second pie crust. Trim, seal, and crimp the edges to secure.
Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top crust with beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let the pie rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
