Lazy and easy vegan Taco Pie recipe !

Hello !

Today i´m coming to you with tasty and beyond easy taco pie recipe !

We don´t make a lot of pies simply because i was terrified of making one specially from scratch . It seemed way to complicated and time consuming but Oh my i was so wrong !

Long time ago when i was still eating meat,eggs a dairy products i would never even bother to try making pie . Way to many steps to follow and too many things could go wrong . When it comes to plant based cooking usually people don’t realize that veganizing their favorite dishes is going to actually make them more simple .

So behind the story it is : taco pie recipe !

Crust :

• 300 g White all-purpose flour

• 150 g cold butter

• Good pinch of salt

• 1-2 tbsp of cold water

Combine all ingredients and form a soft boll . Easy as that ! Let it rest in the fridge and start with your pie filling.Remember to preheat your oven to 220 C on time .

Taco Filling:

• 1 small onion

• 2 cloves of garlic

• 1 medium red pepper

• 1/2 cup of vegan meat or cooked red lentils

• 4 big mushrooms

• 1/2 small can of corn

• 1 package of thick vegan cream ( I used Oatly )

• 1/3 of vegan cheese

• taco spice

• oil or water for frying

• 1/3 cup of water

Sauté your vegetables starting with onions then add garlic and the rest of vegetables. Once they are a bit softer add your “meat” or lentils. Add your taco spice , water and give it a good mix ! Lower the heat and let it simmer until until peppers are soft as you like and the rest of ingredients are cooked properly. You should end up with a thick souse. Let is cool .

Time to comeback to crust !

Remember to have your oven already preheated.

Take your baking pie dish and butter it . Now i don’t recommend rolling your crust just flat your boll with a hand until you get a shape of a flat pancake then place and shape it in your baking form / dish so there is no holes and its equally thin everywhere.

Bake it in the oven for 10-12 min ! Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn !Some ovens are stronger.

After time is done pull out the crust from the oven let it cool for few minutes than top it with your filling. Then on top add vegan cream and cheese . You can add some oregano on top if you like . Bake it in the middle of your oven for about 20 minutes on 220 C .

All done ready to eat ✅
