Vegan Pie by Nita Fenton
Ingredients
- 125 grams Sosmix
- 2 – 3 onions
- 125 grams sliced mushrooms
- 1 x 200g pack of sieved tomatoes
- 125 grams red lentils
- About 6 fluid ounces of vegetable stock
- 1 dessert spoon marmite or Vecon, added to stock
- Mixed herbs
- Lemon juice and soured cream/vegan cream [optional]
- Black pepper
- Pack of short crust pastry
Method
- Roll out short crust pastry into two circles and use half of it to line a shallow pie dish, reserving the other to cover the pie.
- Fry onions until softened and beginning to colour, add mushrooms and continue frying until softened.
- Add tomatoes and stock, then lentils and Sosmix. Add herbs and pepper.
- Simmer together very slowly for about 15 or 20 minutes. The mixture should have absorbed all the liquid and be fairly firm.
- You can add lemon juice and or soured cream at this point according to taste.
- Transfer mixture to pastry lined dish and cover with the reserved pastry circle.
- Brush with milk or soya milk and bake in a moderate oven until golden brown.
- Serve with green potatoes and green vegetables and vegan gravy.
Where to buy
Sosmix is very hard to find but the online Vegan Store, Alternative Stores are still supplying the original Sosmix in new 500g, 1kg, 5kg & 10kg bags. You can order online for delivery, usually next day within the UK, or they ship worldwide.
We have also found several health food stores selling sausage mixes with the label “sosmix” but its not the original Sosmix so beware of imitations like the Granose or Suma sausage mixes.
