puff pastry

🥗Healthier: phyllo dough

💰Cheaper: homemade pastry

Phyllo dough is lighter and lower in fat, while homemade pastry can save costs.

Chop the beef finely and defrost it.

Heat rice bran oil in a skillet and add chopped onions, cooking until softened.

Add the chopped beef to the skillet and brown it.

Remove from heat and add 2 tablespoons of Bisto gravy mix and 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar.

Stir in 1 cup of water, half a cup of red kidney beans, and half a cup of frozen peas.

Simmer the mixture for 20-30 minutes, adding more water if it gets too thick.

Season with black pepper to taste and reduce to a nice thickness.

Prepare the flaky puff pastry by rolling it out and cutting it to fit the pie dish.

Place the pastry in the pie dish with flour on the bottom to prevent sticking.

Fill the pastry with the beef and vegetable mixture, crimp the edges with a fork, and cut slits in the top for steam to escape.

Brush the pastry with almond milk for a glaze.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) and bake the pie for about 30 minutes.
