One mouthful of this pie and you will see why this is such a wonderful dish. A wonderful chilli with the addition of spinach and all baked together under a crispy puff pastry topping. Great textures and the most mouthwatering flavours. Chilli will never be the same again… —GourmetVegan

Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius ( 400 F )
  2. Over a medium heat, in a large pan, fry the onion and garlic for a few minutes until the onions have started to soften. Add the carrots and continue to fry for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped tomatoes and vegetable stock and cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Uncover and add the died soya mince, black pepper, chilli, cumin and linseed and continue to cook for another 5 minutes.
