Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, chopped onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 medium, grated carrot
- 2 finely chopped celery stalks
- 400 grams plant-based mince
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 250 milliliters vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 100 grams frozen peas
- 150 grams, grated dairy-free cheese
- 250 milliliters dairy-free milk
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 sheets vegan puff pastry sheets
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook for an additional 3 minutes.
Add the plant-based mince, tomato paste, and soy sauce to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the mince is browned.
Sprinkle the flour over the mince mixture and stir to combine. Gradually pour in the vegetable stock, stirring continuously to create a thick sauce.
Add the frozen peas, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt to the mixture. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
In a separate saucepan, combine dairy-free cheese, dairy-free milk, and nutritional yeast over low heat. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
Roll out one vegan puff pastry sheet and line the bottom of a pie dish.
Fill the pastry-lined dish with the mince mixture and pour the cheese sauce over the top.
Roll out the second vegan puff pastry sheet and place it over the filling. Seal the edges and cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crispy.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
