Method

  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the shallots and carrots and fry for 10 mins until evenly golden. Set aside.
  2. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil and cook the mushrooms for 6-8 mins, tossing frequently, until evenly golden. Work in batches, if needed
  3. Return the shallots and carrots to the pan with the mushrooms. Add the thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, garlic and tomato purée and fry for 2-3 mins until fragrant and lightly caramelised. Stir in the flour, cook for 2 mins, then gradually add the wine and stock, stirring continuously, until you have a smooth sauce. Cover with a lid and simmer for 30 mins, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavours to mature and the alcohol in the wine to mellow.
  4. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C.
  5. Spoon the bourguignon into a medium-sized ovenproof dish (roughly 2ltr capacity). Unroll the pastry and place it over the filling. Dip your finger in flour and press the pastry down around the edge of the dish, before trimming off the excess with a sharp, serrated knife. Push a chopstick or skewer into the middle of the pastry to create a 5mm wide steam hole. Brush all over with the egg to glaze.
  6. Bake for 35-40 mins until the pastry is golden and risen.
  7. Serve with steamed greens.

Tip: To make this dish vegan friendly, make sure your stock cubes and wine are vegan and swap the egg glaze for 2 tbsp soy milk mixed with 1 tsp vegetable oil.
