A hearty and delicious vegan pie – basically a stew with a pastry hat.
This Big Puff Pie is fairly quick and easy to make because it uses ready-made puff pastry sheets and the pastry is baked in the oven while the filling cooks on the stove.
Then you assemble it and serve – to loud applause, of course!
