Instructions
STEP 1 - PASTRY
Start with the preparation of the shortcrust vegan pastry, doubling the recipe. Divide the dough into two parts, one slightly larger than the other.Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for about an hour.
STEP 2 - FILLING
Clean the mushrooms well and cut the largest into slices keeping the smaller ones whole instead. Then chop all vegetables and vegan meat into chunks.In a medium pot parboil the carrots and potatoes for about 5 minutes, drain and set aside.
In a very large pan heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until the onion is translucent. Then add the quorn pieces, and the mushrooms. Deglaze with the white wine and add salt. Then bring the chicken to cooking.Mix the carrots, potatoes, and rest of the vegetables together with the quorn pieces and mushrooms and set aside.
STEP 3 - THE SAUCE
In a pan, melt the vegan butter, add the flour, stirring with a whisk (as to prepare a bechamel sauce), then add the vegetable broth, continuing to mix to avoid the formation of lumps. Add the almond milk stirring to thicken the cream over low heat.
STEP 4 - FILLING + SAUCE
Add the sauce to the quorn pieces and mushrooms mixture adding the parsley, all the other vegetables.Adjust the taste by adding salt and pepper. Simmer for 5-10 minutes and let cool.
STEP 5 - ADD FILLING TO THE PIE
Roll out the two loaves of shortcrust pastry into two sheets about 2 mm thick. Grease and flour a ceramic pan with a diameter of 9 inch, ideally quite high and with wavy edges. Place the largest dough on the pan, make the bottom and edges adhere well. Take the now cold pie mixture and pour it into the pan trying to form a "mound" in the center.
STEP 6 - PIE PREPARATION
Cover with the other sheet of dough. With a knife, remove the excess dough from the edges and crush them with your fingers to make them adhere well. Make holes in the center of the cake and brush it with vegan milk. If you want, you can make decorations with leftover shortcrust pastry scraps.
STEP 7 - BAKING
Bake at 190 ° C for about 50 minutes, until the surface of the cake is golden brown. Let the vegan quorn pie rest for 10 minutes before serving!
