Method

  1. Dice the vegetables (aim for them to be no bigger than the size of a bean!) and mince your garlic.

    2 tbsp olive oil
  3. Add the flour and stir it into the vegetables, allowing it to cook off for a minute or two.
    2 tbsp plain flour

    1 tbsp tomato paste, 1 tbsp chipotle paste, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 0.5 tsp garlic powder, 0.5 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp oregano, Salt and pepper to taste
  5. Pour in the passata and the vegetable stock, stir together and then leave to simmer for 20 minutes on low heat. Stir occasionally.

  6. Add in the sweetcorn, taco beans and black beans, and then simmer for another 10 - 15 minutes.

  7. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the grated cheese and sour cream.

  8. Ladle the bean chilli into a pie tin, then egg wash the edges of the tin, and lay the puff pastry over the tin.

  9. Use a fork to press the pastry down around the edges, and then gently score a criss-cross pattern into the pastry.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes for the best texture.
You can freeze the filling separately for up to 3 months. Add fresh pastry when baking to avoid soggy results.
