   **Stuffing ingredients:**

   – Approx. 1 kg potatoes

   – 4 medium carrots

   – few mushrooms (i’m using 3)

   – 300g frozen peas

   – 1 tbsp Garlic powder (or 2 garlic cloves)

   – 1 tbsp onion powder (or 1 medium onion)

   – 1/2 tsp black pepper

   – 2 tbsp soy sauce

   – 100ml vegan cooking cream

   – 1 1/2 cups soy balls hydrated and marinated in :

   1/4 tsp lemon salt (or squeeze some lemon instead)

   1/4 black pepper

   1/2 tsp onion powder

   1/2 tsp dried sage

   2 tsp soy sauce

   **Pie crust ingredients:**

   – 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour

   – 1/4 cup sugar

   – pinch of salt

   – 1/2 tbsp baking powder

   – 3/4 cup oil

   – kneed with 1 cup of oat milk (maybe a little less)

   – sesame seeds for the topping

   **Cooking instructions:**

   Hydrate the soy balls in hot water for 5min then add the spices and soy sauce and leave it to marinate while you prepare the veggies.

   Cut the potatoes, carrots and mushrooms into small to medium size cubes. Add 1-2tbsp of oil to a non-stick pot and add in the cut vegetables, frozen peas, marinated soy balls and spices.

   Cook on low heat for 30min or until soft then add 100 ml vegan cooking cream few min before you switch off the heat.

   Leave the cooked vegetables to cool down before filling the dough.

   In a mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and oil then mix with your hands forming small crumbles, this step will produce flakey crust so make sure to do that before adding in the milk.
   Start adding milk and kneed till you get a uniform dough with smooth edges that don’t break when pressed.

   With a rolling pin shape two thirds of the do to form a circle that covers a baking tray base and edges. transfer it to the tray and make a couple of dents in the base with a fork so that the base doesn’t get soggy.

   Add the cooked veggies to the dough to fill up the tray completely.

   Roll the other third of the dough and press the sesame seeds into it before transferring it to the top of the pie to cover it.

   Pinch the edges of both the bottom and top of the pie together forming a nice circular shape then make few holes in the top dough to let the steam out.

   **BAKE FOR 35-40min at 180c (or untill the crust is golden brown)**

   Enjoy!
