WITH A CRISPY PHYLLO BLANKET

Thanks to the delightful contrast of textures in the dish - lush, crispy, and chewy, this pie is a crowd-pleaser, a harbinger of culinary ovations, a palate charmer, or even a recipe for rapture, as one might say casually. Chunks of Marbles and mushrooms get doused in a rich gravy-like, rich sauce, made with a secret ingredient (okay, it’s coffee), then topped with delicate wavy lace of crispy phyllo pastry. This dish pairs wonderfully with a spoonful of cold, creamy yogurt or a leafy side salad. It’s all about contrast (creamy vs. crispy, hot vs. cold), you get what I mean?

Key Ingredients for Vegan Meaty Mushroom Phyllo Pie With Juicy Marbles Chunks

Juicy Marbles Whole-Cut Loin adds a tender, meaty texture that absorbs the rich, savory sauce, making the filling hearty and satisfying.
Mushrooms bring earthy depth, umami flavor, and chewy bite, complimenting the tender, juicy plant-based meat chunks.
Red Wine & Coffee are the secret duo that enhances the sauce with deep complexity. Red wine adds richness, while coffee brings a slight bitterness.
Soy Sauce and Balsamic Vinegar intensify the umami flavor and add tangy depth.
Aromatic Herbs like thyme, rosemary, sage, and bay leaf infuse the filling with warmth and depth.
Phyllo Pastry is used to top the deep, savory filling. Paper-thin layers of Phyllo pastry create a delicate, crisp, golden crust that beautifully contrasts silky smooth gravy-like sauce, tender vegan meat, and mushroom.
Plant-Based "Egg Wash", made with a mixture of plant-based milk and neutral oil. It creates a perfectly golden crust.

How to prepare Vegan Meaty Mushroom Phyllo Pie With Juicy Marbles Chunks

1. Prepare your Mise and Place.

Chop Juicy Marbles Whole-Cut Loin into chunks and pan-fry until browned and crispy. In a jug, mix vegetable stock, red wine, coffee, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and mustard. Chop all the vegetables and mushrooms.

2. Start Cooking

In the same pan, heat olive oil and start cooking the shallots. Stir in garlic, then add celery, carrots and mushrooms. Season with salt, pepper, and all the herbs. After a couple of minutes, add tomato paste and cook until caramelized. Stir in soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. Deglaze the pan with the liquid mixture, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan.

3. Thicken the Sauce and Add Your Vegan Meat

Make a slurry by mixing flour and water. Stir into the pan and cook until the sauce thickens. Return the Juicy Marbles Whole-Cut Loin Chunks to the pan and stir in well to cover with the sauce.

4. Finish the Vegan Phyllo Pie and Bake

Preheat the oven to 392°F (200°C). In the meantime make the vegan “egg wash” and assemble the phyllo pastry pie. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until golden and crispy.

Tips & Tricks

Use Ultra-Thin Phyllo Pastry - if possible, buy ultra-thin Phyllo pastry (usually used for baklava and burek) for the crispiest results
Make Ahead - cook the filling and top it with phyllo pastry just before baking.

Customize The Filling - use different vegetables and legumes to customize the filling to your liking.

Enhance the Umami Flavor - stir in miso paste or nutritional yeast for an extra boost of flavor.

Use Your Favorite Mushrooms - add button, oyster, shiitake, or porcini mushrooms for extra flavor and texture.

Don’t Make a Mess - place the oven-safe pan/skillet on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent the filling from bubbling over and burning on the bottom of your oven.

FAQ

Can I make this vegan pie recipe gluten-free?

Yes, use gluten-free phyllo pastry, cornstarch instead of flour, and swap soy sauce for tamari. If you have trouble finding gluten-free phyllo pastry, feel free to swap it for thinly sliced potatoes or mashed potatoes.

*NOTE: Juicy Marbles meats are not gluten-free certified, but we do not include gluten in any of our recipes.

What can I use instead of phyllo pastry?

You can use puff pastry, thinly sliced potatoes, or mashed potatoes for a similar comforting result. Cooking time might differ depending on the ingredient you are using.

What can I serve this with?

Serve this delicious vegan pie with a dollop of vegan yogurt, a side salad, or garlicky wilted greens.

What type of coffee should I use?

Use filter coffee for the best results. You can also use espresso coffee or Turkish coffee. Keep in mind that espresso is stronger in flavor than filter coffee, so you will need to add less. If using Turkish coffee, make sure you let the coffee grounds settle before adding.

Can I use a different plant-based protein?

Feel free to use a different Juicy Marbles Whole-Cut Product, tempeh, tofu, or lentils.

Directions

Chop Juicy Marbles Loin into 1 x 1 inch / 2,5 x 2,5 cm chunks.
In a jug, mix vegetable stock, red wine, coffee, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and mustard.
Prepare your mise en place. Halve shallots, finely slice garlic cloves, tear apart/slice mushrooms, chop carrots and celery stalk.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan and fry Marbles chunks in batches. Season each batch with salt and pepper, and pan-fry until golden brown before removing it from the pan.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe pan or a skillet. Add shallots and fry for 5-7 minutes until they start to caramelize.
Add sliced garlic and fry for 1-2 minutes before adding chopped carrots, celery and mushrooms. Season with salt, black pepper, cinnamon, rosemary, sage, thyme, and bay leaves. Cook for 5 minutes.
Add tomato paste and fry for 5 minutes until it starts to caramelize and turns dark red. Season everything with soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar.
Use the liquid mixture to deglaze the pan.
Mix flour/cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Add to the pan, mix well, and cook until thickened.
Add your Juicy Marbles chunks to the pan, and mix well to coat them in the sauce.
Preheat the oven to 392°F/200°C
Prepare the ‘egg wash’ by mixing plant milk and neutral oil.
Spread a sheet of phyllo dough on your counter and brush it with the ‘egg wash’. Crumple it with your hands and place it on top of the sauce. Repeat the same process with another 5 sheets to cover the whole surface of the pan.
Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the sauce bubbles.
