Sweet Potato, Kale and Mushroom Pasties

Shops are now starting to stock some pasties for the vegan, which is great news. Ginsters have produced a vegan one (haven’t seen it myself yet), and so have Morrison’s. Just in case you’re caught short, though, I thought I’d come up with a pasty recipe for you. You never know when you might need it!

I’ve gone for a Cornish style pastry for this one, though the filling is nothing at all resembling the traditional Cornish pasty. This is a large pasty that is quite suitable to have as a main meal, perhaps with a salad, or to wrap up and take to work with you for lunch. It’s easy to make, but the pastry does take a bit longer to chill than regular shortcrust. You also have to knead it for longer to really activate the gluten, just as you would with bread.

Ingredients
  

For the Pastry:

  • 75 g gram (chickpea) flour
  • 500 g strong white bread flour
  • 120 g solid coconut oil Stork make a block of this now
  • 120 g vegan butter/margarine
  • 1 level tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 150 ml cold water

For the Filling:

  • I heaped tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 200 g chestnut mushrooms sliced
  • 4-5 kale leaves washed, stalks discarded and leaves thinly sliced
  • 2 large cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 can borlotti beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 veg stock cube make sure it’s vegan
  • 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 150 ml vegan cream
  • A dash of black pepper

To top:

  • Plant milk for brushing
  • A sprinkling of sea salt
  • A large pinch of dried oregano

Instructions
 

  • The pastry will need a long time to rest, so make this first. Put all of the pastry ingredients, up to and including the baking powder, either into a large mixing bowl or into the bowl of a food-processor. Break up with your fingers if using the mixing bowl, until you have fine breadcrumbs. If using the food-processor, pulse briefly and repeatedly until you get the same texture, then transfer to a mixing bowl.
  • Now add the water and mix with a table knife, until the dough begins to come together. Use your hands to bring it all together fully.
  • Knead for a good 5 minutes on a work surface, until you have a smooth elastic dough, then cover and leave in the fridge for about 90 minutes.
  • Meanwhile make the filling. Heat the coconut oil in a large saucepan and cook the sweet potatoes, on a medium heat, for 6-8 minutes, until slightly tender. Add the sliced mushroom and cook for another 4 minutes, stirring often. Put in the kales leaves and the chopped garlic and give it another 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently. Now put in the rest of the ingredients and stir in, then turn off the heat and allow to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to gas 5/190C/375F.
  • When the pastry is ready, take it out of the fridge and divide it into 4 equal parts. Roll each portion out to approximately the size of a side plate, then put ¼ of the filling onto each rolled pastry. Brush the inside edges with plant milk, then gently roll the pastry over and fold the edges to join them. Put 2 small slits into the top of each pasty with a sharp knife, then place onto a large baking sheet and brush the tops with more plant milk.
  • Sprinkle on the sea salt and oregano, then bake in the middle of the oven for 50 minutes to 1 hour, until the pastry is browned and cooked. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
