Vegetarian Mushroom Pot Pie With Garlic Green Beans

Ingredients

• 2 portions of Winter Stew
• 1 sheet storebought pie dough
• Flour, for dusting
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1 tsp. maple syrup
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• 7 oz. green beans, trimmed
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• Sea salt

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (or follow the pie crust package instructions).
2. Place the stew in a small but deep roasting tin or oven dish that’s appropriate for a pie.
3. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface until ¼-inch thick. Brush around the edge of the roasting tin or dish with water, then lay the pastry over it and press it down to make it stick. Use a sharp knife to trim off any excess pastry, then press around the edges with a fork. Cut a steam hole in the middle. Mix the olive oil and maple syrup in a small bowl, then brush this mixture over the pastry. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes until golden brown.
4. Meanwhile, prepare the green beans. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the green beans and garlic, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6 minutes until the beans are tender but still have a slight bite. Serve the beans alongside the pie for a warming winter meal.
