Vegetarian Pie... Help

Stones · Joined: 15 Oct 2009 Location: Somerset

We have visitors this weekend and Juamei and I are going to make an amazing roast dinner (Juamei's potatoes are the best). One of my friends is a vegetarian and I really want to make like a nice pie or something she can have with hers instead of meat. I'm thinking maybe something I can make on saturday and then reheat a slice before serving.

Does anyone have any suggestions or recipes for fillings? I normally like my pies to have meat or fruit in them so I'm stumped. Oh, and helpfully she is allergic to nuts so no nutty recipes. Smile

I'll post pics of the winning pie!

if you get the right kind of soya chunks, and soak them in vegetable stock you could make a pretty tasty pie with them and broccoli carrot and white sauce.

edit: now that I think - basically the same as that chicken pie that was posted a while back, but with soya!

Thank you for your help you two. I meant to reply before and take photos but... well, I don't have an excuse.

Discovering a large amount of mushrooms in the house made me decide to make... Mushroom and Ale Pie. It was pretty damn good. It was kind of meaty tasting too like all food should be!

Aja - Your quiche recipe looks yummy, I'll definately be making some soon. Asparasgus has come in to season here so I think they'll be going in! Also, I think I'm in love with Kilo.

I mostly made it up so I don't have measurements but it was pretty much:

Any mushrooms - I used regular and chesnut
Ale - Use less if you're using a dark ale or stout.
Shallots or onions
Veg Stock
Butter
Bisto powder
Puff pastry.

Chop shallots and soften in butter. Add mushrooms and fry for about 5 mins. Add ale and stock. Bring to boil and then reduce for about 5 mins or till you get the amount of liquid you want. Thicken with bisto powder for that lovely meaty flavour.

Slop in to some kind of dish and pop a puff pastry lid on then whack in the oven for a bit. Or cook the pastry seperately and then plonk it on the dish.
