Mushroom pie fillingThis is a weekday meal so, by it’s nature, it has to be quick and easy. You can make the filling (or the whole pie) ahead of time if it’s easier.

This recipe is warming and very peppery!

If you wanted to bulk it out a bit you could add carrots (this would sweeten it) or potatoes.

Perfect for a winter night.
