1 sachet
Vegetable Stock Pot
1
Celery
2
Garlic
1
Spring Onion
1
Leek
200 g
Plant-Based Mince
(Contains: Soy; May be present: Wheat, Gluten.)
3
Potato
1 packet
Tomato Paste
1
Carrot
1 sachet
Nan's Special Seasoning
90 g
Diced Bacon
(May be present: Soy, Milk.)
1 drizzle
olive oil
30 g
plant-based butter
2 tbs
plant-based milk
½ cup
water

⢠Boil the kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. Peel potato and cut into large chunks. ⢠Cook potato in the boiling water, over high heat, until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. ⢠Add the plant-based butter and the plant-based milk to potato and season generously with salt. Mash until smooth. TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato unpeeled.
⢠Meanwhile, preheat grill to high. ⢠Slice carrot into thin half-moons. ⢠Thinly slice celery and leek. ⢠Thinly slice spring onion.

⢠In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. ⢠Cook carrot, leek and celery, until just tender, 3-4 minutes. ⢠Add plant-based mince and diced bacon and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-6 minutes.
⢠Add tomato paste, garlic paste and Nan's special seasoning and cook, until fragrant, 1 minute. ⢠Stir in the water and vegetable stock, until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.

⢠Transfer filling to a baking dish and evenly spread mash potato over the top with a drizzle of olive oil. ⢠Grill until lightly golden, 8-10 minutes. TIP: Drizzling with olive oil helps the topping to crisp and brown!
⢠Divide plant-based mince, bacon and veggie pie between plates. ⢠Top with spring onion to serve. Enjoy!
