Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons plant-based butter
  • 1 medium shallot, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 (14-oz) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 4 cups diced butternut squash (1/2-inch pieces)
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 medium bunch curly kale, stems removed and leaves torn
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 12 ounces dairy-free puff pastry, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened non-dairy milk

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter and cook shallot for 5 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds, then sprinkle in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  2. Slowly whisk in vegetable broth until smooth. Add coconut milk, butternut squash, mushrooms, peas, kale, rosemary, and thyme. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes until squash is tender.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in sage, lemon zest, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F. Divide filling among six ramekins, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top.
  5. Cut puff pastry into squares large enough to cover each ramekin. Place pastry over filling, cut vents in the top, and brush with non-dairy milk.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes or until pastry is golden and filling is bubbling. Let rest 5-10 minutes before serving.
