super easy vegan muffin pan pies

So over christmas I went on a pie baking spree and a few people requested the recipe, keep in mind I created this from rummaging through my cupboard and pulling out random things hoping that when combined they would make something delicious, this is often my method of cooking. My husband came up with the idea to use a muffin tray to make pies in after we were looking at pie makers and thought they seemed a little flat and small. So here is the recipe hope you enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 100g of TVP (textured vegetable protein) & boiling water
• 1 medium potato - diced
• 3/4cup of veggies - I use peas, corn and carrot - diced
• 1/2 a jar of your fav pasta sauce - I use dolmio spicy peppers
• 3 sheets of puff pastry
• for flavor I use crushed, dried chilies, garlic and curry powder but you can use whatever you like if you don't like it spicy. 
• cooking paper

Method:

• Put the TVP in a bowl and add the spices, then add the water to re hydrate, by doing this the spices dissolve into the water and absorb into the TVP
• Microwave the potato to soften, this shortens oven time.
• mix in the cooked potato, veggies and pasta sauce

• cut the baking paper into squares and line each individual muffin space on the pan

•  Cut the pastry sheets into 4 squares and place in muffin spaces on top of the baking paper

•  Fill the pastry cups with the mixture

•  fold the corners of the pastry over, making a lid

• bake in 180 degree celsius oven until brown and crispy

There you have it, simple, yummy and healthy pies, I hope this helps for next time you have vegan or vegetarian guests for dinner and you don't know what to cook :) enjoy!

*note* i also put cooked rice into the pie mixture, for some reason my husband really enjoys it!

*note* if you are cooking it for vegan/vegetarian guests ensure the pastry is vegan, you can get it you just need to check the box for things like butter, animal derived emulsifiers, animal fats and so on.

luh you
