Meatless Monday: Harvest Celebration Pie

October 3, 2016 Mary Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe

Harvest Celebration PieCanadian Thanksgiving falls on the second Monday in October, so it’s a perfect day to try this Harvest Celebration Pie.

The filling is thickened with red lentils, and you can choose your favorite combination of vegetables.

(I went with a fairly conservative mix of carrots, celery, mushrooms and corn for this one. But why not fennel? Or butternut squash? Let your garden guide you.)

The oil-based pastry is super-easy and fast to make (and might just become your favorite).

Serve the pie with a side of cranberry sauce and a festive slaw and you won’t even miss the turkey.

For dessert? Why not  try Chocolate Pumpkin Date Cake with Chocolate Coffee Glaze?
