Filo Pie: The Secret to an Extra Delicious Mushroom & Butter bean Pie

If youโ€™ve never tried using filo pastry to top a pie, youโ€™re missing out! Butter beans, mushrooms and artichokes are cooked in the creamiest sauce, flavored with garlic and thyme. The marinated artichokes create a slightly โ€œmeatyโ€ texture and a subtly sharp flavor that adds a richness to the sauce, almost like white wine. I love pairing this butter bean pie with the Creamy Butter Bean & Mustard Mash.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • Vegetables & Herbs: French Echalion (banana) shallots, marinated artichoke hearts, garlic, mushrooms, fresh thyme.
  • Condiments: oil from the jar of artichokes, salt, pepper, mushroom or vegetable broth, olive oil.
  • Grains & Legumes: butter beans, all-purpose flour, filo dough/pastry.
  • Dairy alternatives: unsweetened vegan yogurt.

How to Make this Mushroom & Butter Bean Pie

Preheat The Oven & Sautรฉ The Vegetables

Preheat the oven to 350ยบF (180ยบC or gas mark 4). On the stovetop, heat the 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of oil from the artichokes in a round ovenproof pan or dish. Add the shallots and fry them over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until soft. Add the artichokes, garlic and 6 sprigs of thyme and fry for another couple of minutes.

Add the mushrooms to the pan and soften for about 10 minutes, until they reduce considerably in size. Donโ€™t stir too much to allow them to take on some color. Add the butter beans, season with salt and pepper and mix well. Add the flour and stir through everything in the pan. Pour the broth in and deglaze any flavor from the bottom of the pan.

Add the Filo Pastry/Dough

Bring the pan to a simmer and keep stirring as the mixture thickens. Add the yogurt and mix well to combine it into the sauce. Tear the filo pastry into narrow strips. Scrunch and fold each strip on top of the mushroom and bean filling. Once the whole pan is covered, use a fork to tuck any loose edges of pastry down into the filling.

Bake the Mushroom & Bean Pie, Serve & Enjoy

Brush the pastry lightly with oil and sprinkle the remaining thyme leaves over it. Bake the mushroom and bean pie for about 20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crispy. Serve immediately.
