Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste
- 2 Shallots
- 1 Leek (roughly chopped)
- Handful fresh thyme leaves (chopped)
- 2 cloves of garlic (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Tomato puree
- 800g / 1.8 lb Mixed mushrooms (we used 200g / 7oz Wild & 600g / 1.3 lb Large Flat; chopped roughly)
- 3 tablespoons Plain flour
- 150ml / 5 fl. oz Red wine
- 150ml / 5 fl. oz Vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 100g / 3 1/2 oz Olives (we used kalamata)
- Handful fresh parsley
- 2 Sweet potatoes
- Salt and pepper
How to make it
- Pre-heat oven to 180C / 350F
- Heat olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Add roughly diced shallots and leeks along with most of the thyme (hold some back for garnish)
- Once softened (after about 10 mins), add the garlic and Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste mix and cook for 5 mins.
- Add roughly chopped mushrooms and a healthy pinch of salt & black pepper. Cook for 10mins.
- Add the flour and stir in. Cook for a couple of minutes before adding the stock and red wine. Bring to a boil and then simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Add the olives, soy sauce and roughly chopped parsley.
- Mix well and portion out into ramekins (alternatively, you could do one big pie).
- Wash sweet potatoes and slice thinly (use a mandolin, but watch those fingers!).
- Lay them on the filling and top with a little olive oil, salt, pepper and the remaining thyme (see images).
- Bake in the oven for about 30 mins, or until the sweet potato slices have turned golden and crispy.
