Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 190 degrees celsius.
- Start by preparing the pie crust. Mix flour, cubed plant butter and thyme. Add water a little at a time until you have a smooth dough ball. Press the dough into a pie form, prick and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Pre-bake the pie crust in the middle of the oven for approx. 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, prepare the filling by thinly slicing the root vegetables.
- Heat a skillet with oil to medium high heat. Pour in Stacky's, thyme, oregano and salt and fry until the mince has a nice colour.
- Finely crumble the plant-based feta cheese in a bowl and then add the rest of the ingredients (chickpea flour, olive oil, plant creme fraiche, plant cream, garlic, salt and pepper) and mix well.
- Layer root vegetables and Stacky's mince in the pre-baked pie shell and then pour over the stuffing. Top the pie with plant feta cheese and bake in the middle of the oven for 60-75 minutes or until the root vegetables feel tender.
- While the pie is baking, make the mustard cream by mixing all ingredients (plant sour cream, whole grain mustard, fresh thyme, salt and pepper) in a small bowl until well combined.
- When the pie has finished baking, leave to cool slightly before topping with mustard cream and fresh thyme.
