Preheat the oven to 200Β°C (390Β°F).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sautΓ© for about 5 minutes until soft.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and sautΓ© for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Add the portobello mushrooms, button mushrooms, and jackfruit to the skillet, and cook for 8-10 minutes or until they have softened and reduced in size.
Stir in the diced carrot, vegetable broth, soy sauce, tomato paste, vegan Worcestershire sauce, and fresh thyme. Season with salt and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the filling mixture to thicken it. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Transfer the filling mixture into a pie dish.
Roll out the vegan puff pastry sheets and cover the pie dish with the pastry, trimming the edges as needed. Use a knife to make slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top of the pastry with non-dairy milk.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving.
