Vegan Mushroom Hand Pies with Beluga Lentils

It’s been a while since I wanted to show you these vegan mushroom hand pies with beluga lentils. Lately I have been making vegan pies again and again. I find that they have nothing to envy in taste from the classic cheese pies, although I love them madly!

Really, I have a huge love for pies in general, and for everything that contains phyllo. I can hardly resist. Hand pies are more practical, because you can more easily carry them to the office, etc, and eat them without to much mess. Or do I love them because they have more phyllo?? ;): D Of course, they need a little more preparation time, but you can’t have it all, right?

These delicious vegan mushroom hand pies have many ingredients, but they are all simple, nutritious and tastefully combined. In addition to mushrooms and black lentils (you can also use classic lentils) they contain carrots, leeks, onions, garlic, raisins and walnuts among others. Thyme, sage and rosemary are giving a strong flavor effect. And all this wrapped in layers of crisp phyllo 8| You will have about 28-30 vegan mushroom hand pies with this recipe.

You may want to have a look at the vegan zucchini pies that I made for you last year. They are fantastic. But also, take a look at the eggplant pie without phyllo, which is also on season. You have loved both recipes, and I am very happy about that! I constantly receive photos on instagram from friends who have made them, and they were thrilled.
