Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, diced carrots, and celery. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook until they start to release their moisture, about 7 minutes.
Add the plant-based ground 'beef' to the mixture and cook until browned, roughly 8 minutes.
Pour in the red wine and let it simmer for 3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the vegetable stock, tomato paste, soy sauce, dried thyme, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce. Mix well.
Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir until the filling thickens, about 3 minutes.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Roll out the shortcrust pastry and line the base of a pie dish with it, trimming any excess.
Fill the pie crust with the cooked mushroom and 'beef' mixture, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the pie with the puff pastry sheet, sealing the edges by pinching or crimping the borders.
Cut a few small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
Brush the pastry with milk to promote browning.
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
