If you're on the hunt for a meatless main to serve during the holiday season (or for a special dinner), stop your scrolling! This Individual Puff Pastry Lentil Pies are the show-stopping savory centerpiece you've been looking for. Flaky pastry shells are stuffed with lentils, mirepoix, and fresh herbs and wrapped into a pretty package for a hearty and unforgettable cold weather entrée.
No matter what holiday you celebrate, it seems that November and December are always packed with parties, potlucks, dinners, and other festivities. I love all the celebrating, but finding tasty, crowd pleasing plant-based recipes for the holidays was something I had to learn along the way.
I also wanted to create a tasty, rib-sticking main course that would impress vegans & omnivores alike. Enter my Vegan Puff Pastry Lentil Pies!
These flaky pockets of goodness are stuffed with a cozy and comforting mix of French-inspired lentils with carrots, celery, onions, and fresh herbs that'll have everyone going back for more.
Gluten-free? You can also turn the lentil pie filling into vegan shepherd's pies if you're gluten free - simply top individual ramekins of the lentils with the cauliflower mashed potatoes instead of using puff pastry, then give them a quick trip under the broiler!
Best of all, these eye-catching savory hand pies take just 10 minutes to prep, meaning you can actually enjoy the holidays with your guests instead of being chained to your kitchen. That, my friends, is a miracle!
