2 Tbsp olive oil
3 whole cloves garlic
2 bay leaves
2 yellow onions, peeled and chopped
2 carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 butternut squash, cleaned and chopped
2 parsnips, peeled and chopped
3 cups stock, chicken or vegetable
3 Tbsp butter
6 Tbsp flour
1 pkg. frozen puff pastry, at room temperature
1 egg beaten
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a large sauté pan, add olive oil, garlic and bay leaves and bring to a high heat. Add all the vegetables and sauté for 5 minutes. Set aside. In a medium sauce pan melt butter and then whisk in flour 1 tablespoon at a time. Slowly add the stock whisking continuously. Bring to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes or until gravy thickens. Add the gravy to the vegetable mixture.
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to 1/8" thick. Place pastry over 4" tart pan and trim, leaving 3/4 " overhang. Fill the pie with a heaping portion of vegetables and cover with a top crust, wrap overhand up and crimp the edges tight. Brush the top with beaten egg and cut 1" vents into the top.
