Hearty Vegan Pies

I just can't get enough of mini pies at the moment, and this one is the ideal choice for make-ahead dinners, lunches or shared meals. It's packed with veggies and covered in a crispy, buttery pastry, which both of which can be made in advance and frozen. 

The secret ingredient to this treasure Green Vie Sour Cream from Vegan Perfection, which is just as good as the real thing and oh so tasty!
