- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 Celery stalk
- 300 grams Vegetarian mince
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 150 milliliters Vegetable broth

- 150 grams Cheddar cheese
- 1 Egg

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
Finely chop the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery.
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery to the pan. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Stir in the vegetarian mince and cook for another 3-4 minutes until lightly browned.
Add the tomato paste, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and vegetable broth to the pan.
Stir well, reduce the heat to low, and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Stir in the frozen peas, salt, and black pepper, then remove the pan from the heat.
Roll out one puff pastry sheet and line a 9-inch pie dish with it.
Spoon the mince mixture evenly into the pastry-lined dish.
Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese evenly over the mince mixture.
Cover the pie with the second puff pastry sheet, trimming any excess.
Press the edges to seal and crimp with a fork.
Beat the egg and brush the top of the pastry with the egg wash.
Cut a few small slits in the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is golden and crisp.
Allow the pie to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
