Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup vegan butter
- 6 tablespoons cold water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 carrot, finely diced
- 1 celery stalk, finely diced
- 1 cup mushrooms, chopped
- 1 cup vegan ground meat
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon non-dairy milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Add the vegan butter and use your fingers to rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Slowly add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.
Add the carrot, celery, and mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Stir in the vegan ground meat, soy sauce, tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, black pepper, and salt. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken and the flavors to meld.
Remove the filling from heat and let it cool slightly.
Roll out the chilled pastry dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 6 equal rectangles.
Place an equal portion of the filling onto one half of each rectangle, then fold the dough over the filling, crimping the edges to seal.
Prick the tops of the pastries with a fork to allow steam to escape. Brush with non-dairy milk for a golden finish.
Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and crisp.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your vegan savory meat pastries warm.
