2 هویج بزرگ, roughly diced

2 sticks of celery, roughly diced

one large onion, roughly diced

120 G (4 اونس) dried soya mince or TVP (I use the dark one with added caramel as it looks nicer)

a teaspoon of turmeric

a pinch of cumin

2 teaspoons of crushed dried chillies (اختیاری)

یک اینچ (2 و 1/2 سانتی متر) تکه ای از زنجبیل, قطعه قطعه شده

4 میخک از سیر, خرد

2 tablespoons of tomato puree

3 teaspoons of vegetable stock powder

یک قاشق غذاخوری سس سویا تیره

روغن زیتون

نمک و فلفل

روش

Sweat the onion, carrots and celery on a low heat in a large pan until the onions soften (about 15 دقیقه). فصل را با نمک و فلفل

Add the garlic and ginger and to the vegetables along with the turmeric, cumin and dried chillies if using

Boil the potatoes in salted water for about 15-20 دقیقه, until soft

Preheat the grill on a medium high setting

Add the soya mince, tomato paste, soy sauce, vegetable stock powder to the sweating vegetables, stir to coat. Add a little water and turn up the heat and bring to the boil. Add water a little at a time when its absorbed (some vegetable proteins are more absorbent than others).

Turn down the heat and simmer for a further 15 minutes or so until the carrots become tender. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary

In the meantime when the potatoes drop of a knife, drain (retaining the water to cook any vegetable accompaniment) and mash with olive oil and salt and pepper

Transfer the soya mixture into a large ovenproof dish and spoon the mashed potatoes on top. Rake with a fork to make lines on top, spray or brush the top with oil and put under the grill for about 10 minutes to brown

(Serving suggestion:-In the meantime bring the potato water back to the boil, add your chosen vegetables and some more stock powder and when almost done reduce the heat and add a teaspoon of cornflour dissolved in a little cold water, serve the vegetables in their gravy (refrigerate or freeze any extra gravy for later) alongside the delicious pie)
