If you have Vegan or Vegetarian friends coming to your Thanksgiving this year and you’re scrambling for something elegant to serve them, well then add my Gardener’s Pie Recipe to your buffet table! This is one of my favorite Vegetarian recipes that I make every year for our Thanksgiving feast! 

Gardener's Pie Recipe

It’s easy, delicious and the whole thing can be made the day before the big feast (my kind of Thanksgiving recipe).

WATCH MY VIDEO DEMO BELOW!

 

It’s a meatless twist on a classic Shepherd’s Pie Recipe, but frankly, I think the meatless version is even better.  For an elegant twist for holiday entertaining, I like to take the extra time to pipe the mashed potato topping on top of the vegetable base.

Gardener's Pie Recipe

It’s a simple thing to do that will give you an instant elegance. Just no “no” to Tofurky, our meatless friends deserve something equally elegant on this national day of thanks.

It’s a great flavor combination between the rich, ratatouille-like vegetable base and the fluffy mashed potato topping.  It also makes a fantastic potluck dish too since it’s can be made ahead and is extremely portable! It’s a beautiful dish that’s a crowd-pleaser to present as well as grace a buffet. It also makes for great leftovers too!

Ingredients

FOR FILLING

  • 2 yellow onions, thinly sliced into disks
  • 2 eggplants, thinly sliced into disks
  • 4 red bell peppers, quartered
  • 10 Roma tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into half moons
  • 8 cremini mushrooms, quartered
  • 4 garlic cloves, sliced thinly lengthwise

  • 1 tsp (5 ml) salt, separated
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) herbs de provence, separated
  • 1 15 oz (400 ml) can tomato sauce
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary, minced

FOR POTATO TOPPING:

  • 6 russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives
  • 1 ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450F (232C)
  2. Split vegetables equally across 2 rim-lined baking sheets.
  3. Layer vegetables in this order. Onions, then eggplant, peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, and mushrooms. Nestle in sliced garlic between trays.
  4. Drizzle each tray with 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil each, a sprinkle of ½ tsp (2.5ml) of salt each and ½ tsp (2.5 ml) herbs de Provence to each tray.
  5. Place both trays in oven (1 on mid rack, 1 on lower rack) and roast for 1 hour, flipping trays every 15 mins and gently stirring after 30 mins has pasted.
  6. Meanwhile, set potatoes to boil in cold water. Once fork tender work potatoes through a ricer to create a smooth, lump free mash. Add oil, salt and herbs and mix to combine.
  7. Once vegetables are soft and caramelized remove from oven. Combine trays into 1 tray. Add tomato sauce and rosemary and stir. Transfer to a large 4 quart oven safe casserole to cool.
