Mushroom pot pie is amazing
The Question
Don't have a pic but for the vegetarians out there it is delicious. Will definitely be making it again but with less veg and more tofu.
Build umami depth in vegetarian mushroom pot pie by adding 2-3 tablespoons tamari, 1-2 tablespoons balsamic reduction, and 1 tablespoon tomato paste to intensify the mushrooms' natural savory flavors.
Best Method
The Serious Eats vegetarian mushroom pot pie recipe serves as the foundation approach. To amplify umami, incorporate tamari (2-3 tablespoons), balsamic reduction (1-2 tablespoons), and tomato paste (1 tablespoon) during the mushroom cooking phase. Add these ingredients after the mushrooms have released their moisture and begun to brown, allowing 2-3 minutes for the tomato paste to cook out its raw flavor before deglazing.
