Traditional Vegetable Pastie

What is it?

Diced root vegetables and potato sit in a seasoned sauce inside a folded pastry shell, with the filling kept fairly simple and the texture leaning soft rather than chunky. Heated from frozen, it’s the old-style vegetable pastie in the Mrs Mac’s range, and it sits alongside the brand’s meat-filled versions as the vegetarian outlier. Compared with a meat pastie, the centre here is all about potato, carrot and other root vegetables, with herbs doing the seasoning work. It’s the traditional Cornish-style format, baked as a sealed hand pie that travels well and eats neatly once warmed through.
