Ingredients

For 8 servings:

• 1 batch pie pastry for a 9-inch (23cm), single-crust, deep-dish pie (opt for vegan or gluten-free if needed)
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 4 shallots, thinly sliced (1 cup)
• 6 ounces (170g) white button mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 1 (5-ounce; 140g) package baby spinach
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
• 1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 1⁄2 cups water
• 1 cup vegetable stock (low sodium)
• 1 cup chickpea flour
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1⁄2 teaspoon turmeric
• Pinch of sweet paprika
• 1⁄4 tablespoon plant-based butter
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. Roll out the pie pastry to an 11-inch (28cm) circle and transfer it to a 9-inch (23cm) deep-dish pie pan. Fold the edges of the dough inward and crimp using your thumb and two fingers to pinch the dough all around. Refrigerate until ready to fill.
3. In a large sauté pan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes or until they begin to brown.
4. Add the button mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes or until the mushrooms are golden.
5. Add the spinach, 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt, and black pepper, stirring until wilted. Set aside.
6. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the water and vegetable stock to a boil.
7. In a small bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, turmeric, and sweet paprika.
8. Add the remaining 1 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil to the boiling stock mixture, and pour in the chickpea flour mixture a little at a time, whisking vigorously to eliminate lumps. Continue whisking for 2 minutes or until the mixture thickens, then whisk in the remaining 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt, plant-based butter, and chives. Stir in the mushroom mixture.
9. Pour the cooked mixture into the prepared pie crust and bake for 40 minutes or until the filling is set. Cool for 20 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or cold.
