MUSHROOM POTPIE



Mushroom Potpie image

Dried porcini mushrooms and caramelized fresh mushrooms give this dish plenty of deep, earthy flavor. Sweet parsnips, garlicky kale, carrots and potatoes round out the mushroom filling, but if those don't suit you, the filling is fully flexible. Substitute butternut squash, celery root or just about any root vegetable for the carrots, parsnips and potatoes. The entire dish cooks in a large ovenproof skillet, but you could also transfer the filling to buttered ramekins for individual pies, or divide the mixture between two 8-inch pie dishes for two separate pies. Rich and creamy, it feeds a crowd, and can easily be prepared in advance: Refrigerate the cooked filling overnight, then warm it on the stovetop, assemble and bake. The results justify the effort.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 cup dried porcini mushrooms (1/2 ounce)
4 tablespoons olive oil, plus more as needed
1/2 pound fresh oyster mushrooms, torn into separate pieces (or shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and halved)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 pound cremini mushrooms, stemmed and quartered (or cut into sixths if large)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
1/4 pound lacinato kale, stemmed, leaves thinly sliced crosswise
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup diced peeled carrots (from 2 medium carrots, cut into 1/2-inch pieces)
1 cup diced peeled parsnips (from 2 medium parsnips, cut into 1/2-inch pieces)
1 cup diced red potatoes (from 2 small potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces)
1 (14- to 16-ounce) package puff pastry, thawed
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Bring 2 cups of water to boil in a small pot. Place the porcini mushrooms in a medium bowl and pour the boiling water on top; set aside to soak and soften.
  • Meanwhile, in a large (12-inch) ovenproof skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Working in two batches so the mushrooms brown evenly, add half the oyster mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook, undisturbed, until browned underneath, about 3 minutes. Stir the mushrooms, then continue to cook until browned all over, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Repeat with 2 tablespoons oil and the remaining oyster mushrooms; transfer them to the medium bowl. Add another 2 tablespoons oil, then add the cremini mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 6 to 8 minutes, lowering the heat as needed to avoid burning. Transfer to the bowl.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once the butter is melted, add the onion and cook until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the kale, garlic, thyme and rosemary, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes, adding 1 to 2 tablespoons oil if the pan seems dry. Sprinkle with the flour and cook, stirring, until flour is dispersed and lightly toasted, 2 minutes.
  • Stirring constantly, gradually add the stock, cream and 3/4 cup of the liquid from the soaking porcini mushrooms. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, then stir in the carrots, parsnips, potatoes, and the sautéed mushrooms and any accumulated juices. Strain the soaked porcini mushrooms, discarding any remaining liquid, then roughly chop the mushrooms and stir them into the filling. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (If making ahead, the filling can be refrigerated a day in advance; just warm it up slightly before assembling and baking.)
  • On a lightly dusted work surface using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the puff pastry into a roughly 14-inch circle. Transfer to the top of the skillet, allowing slight overhang, folding under and pinching any overhang just below the rim of the skillet. In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 teaspoon water. Lightly brush the egg wash over the top of the puff pastry, then cut 5 (2-inch) slits into the puff pastry, starting near the center and radiating outward, like the rays of the sun, or create a stripe or crisscross pattern in the puff pastry by gently scoring it with a paring knife without fully cutting through. Crimp the edges using the tines of a fork, if desired.
  • Set the skillet on top of an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet and transfer to the middle rack of the oven. Bake until the puff pastry is puffed and golden, about 30 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for work surface
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 to 5 tablespoons ice water
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced small (1 1/2 cups)
10 ounces button mushrooms, trimmed and quartered
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup frozen peas
Coarse salt and ground pepper
3 cups shredded cooked chicken (15 ounces)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh marjoram (or 1 teaspoon dried)

Steps:

  • Make the crust: In a food processor, pulse together flour, sugar, and salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons ice water. Pulse until dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed (if necessary, add up to 2 tablespoons ice water); do not overmix. Form dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, 1 hour or overnight (or freeze, up to 1 month).
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make the filling: In a large pot, melt butter over medium-high. Add onion and mushrooms and cook until softened, 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add flour and stir to coat vegetables. Slowly add broth, whisking constantly until sauce is smooth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in peas. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in chicken and marjoram. Pour filling into a 2-quart baking dish.
  • On a floured work surface, roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Place dough over dish and fold overhang inward while pinching to crimp edge. Cut vents in dough. Place dish on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling around edge, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh mushrooms. Fresh mushrooms will have a better flavor and texture than canned mushrooms.
  • Clean the mushrooms thoroughly. Wipe the mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a variety of mushrooms. Different types of mushrooms will give your potpie a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
  • Sauté the mushrooms before adding them to the potpie. Sautéing the mushrooms will help to brown them and bring out their flavor.
  • Use a good quality pie crust. A homemade pie crust will be more flavorful and flaky than a store-bought crust.
  • Don't overcook the potpie. The potpie is done when the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.

Conclusion:

Mushroom potpie is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold night. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a mushroom potpie that will be a hit with your family and friends.
