Christmas vegetarian pie

Hi. I want to make a big puff pastry pie for Christmas dinner, to have with dauphinois and the usual vege. The problem is that one person won’t eat mushrooms and another won’t eat tomatoes, courgettes, aubergine or broccoli. Would also rather avoid meat substitutes.

Is this an impossible ask? I’m hoping for one big pie, rather than individual ones.

Hommity pie is delicious, but the dauph potatoes are a must, so it's a no. I'm very lazy and definitely don't want tp be faffing around cooking lots of different layers etc. Ready made pastry is a given - life is too short for puffing around with homemade puff pastry imo.

I think I'll have to invent one. Do you think if I roasted some parsnips, squash, red onions and carrots and then mixed in some Merchant Gourmet Puy lentils and some walnuts with some herbs and a splash of red wine etc it might work? Or too dry?

I'm veggie and that sounds lovely. I am so fed up with pies being cheese and onion, as I feel the protein in that is debatable.Whereas your's will offer protein from at least 2 different sources, good colours and interest in texture. Are you only going to top the pie with pastry/cobbler/topping? I would worry that a sauce (and you need one) might make a bottom layer go soggy. Please let us know how it goes.

That’s different if it’s your children 😂 good luck with it then I remember the days , in fact every Christmas 🎄 one I took everything she would eat the other would have eaten you if you hung around long enough

Might be a bit late, and it does contain cheese (albeit a small amount of feta presumably for pops of saltiness, so not really cheesy) but this might fit the bill. Butternut squash, leek and za'atar pie

Thanks both. That one looks gorgeous too. I’m going to have a play using roasted squash and parsnips as a base,
