Method

  • Gather and prepare your ingredients. Preheat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large oven-proof pan. Add the onions with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until softened.
  • Add the peppers. Cook for 5 minutes, until softened.
  • Add the garlic, tomato puree, cumin, paprika, oregano and nutritional yeast. Cook for 1 minute, until darkened and sticky.
  • Add the beans and their liquid, and the tempeh. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the tempeh has turned darker in colour and the liquid has slightly reduced.
  • Meanwhile, put the sweet potatoes into a pan with cold water and a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cool for 8 minutes, until tender.
  • Drain well. Return to the pan. Add the oil. Mash, using either a fork or potato masher. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Spread the mashed potatoes onto the base.
  • Combine the almonds, oats, oil and paprika. Sprinkle over the pie.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly (45 mins in Remoska). Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
