Rustic Mushroom Potpie
with apple spinach salad
We love a potpie for a cold-weather dinner and this one is comforting and filled with veggies. A tart apple spinach salad on the side is perfect to cut through the potpie's richness.
Smarts: We use frozen veggies to decrease the cooking time. If you want to make separate servings, spoon potpies into ramekins and cover in puff pastry.

Make
- Heat oven to 425F / 218C.
- Heat a saute pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add butter and then onions and celery to melted butter with a sprinkle of salt. Saute until softened, ~3 minutes.
- Add mushrooms with sherry and thyme and saute for 5 to 7 minutes until mushrooms are tender.
- Stir in flour and cook for ~30 seconds.
- Add broth, milk, frozen veggies, and parsley. Cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, until mixture is thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Transfer filling to an 8” / 20cm square baker (this is the size for 4 servings; you may need a smaller or larger container if customizing serving sizes). Place baker on a rimmed sheet pan and cover with puff pastry. Cut a few slits into the pastry and then transfer to oven. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until crust is golden.
- While potpie is baking, slice apples. Whisk together apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and cooking oil. When potpie’s done, toss vinaigrette with spinach, apples, and almonds.
- Enjoy potpie with salad on the side!

Yum! Used leftover turkey to add a little extra to it after trying the original version a while back.
0 HelpfulThis looked like it was going to be tastier than it wasn't. Mushroom sauce could have done without the peas.
0 HelpfulAdded fresh bell pepper and chicken breast to the pot pie. Used a bag of frozen mixed veggies with carrots, peas, corn, and green beans. Added craisens to the salad. Great! -R
0 HelpfulI would add red pepper flakes or a spicy sauce to this, but it was very delicious. Easy, and had comforting flavors.
