375g (14 oz) French lentils
180g (5 oz) red lentils
1 Spanish (red) onion, finely diced
1 stick of celery, finely diced
2 carrots, finely diced
1 small red chilli, finely sliced
3 medium potatoes, diced
2 tbsp tomato paste
500ml (2 cups) vegetable stock
1 bay leaf
50 ml (2 tbs) soy sauce
2 tbsp tamarind paste
2 sheets short crust pastry
2 sheets puff pastry
Extra virgin olive oil
Splash oil into a hot pan and toss in all the vegetables and
bay leaf. Fry for 7-8 minutes or until browned. Add tomato
paste, tamarind, soy sauce, both lentils and stock. Stir
well and remove the bay leaf. Cook mixture for 3- 5 minutes.
Line 2 spring-form cases with shortcrust pastry.
Fill the lined pie tins with the lentil mixture. Cover with
puff pastry. Cut a hole in the centre of each pie. Bake pies
