Mellow flavours of potato, lots of herbs and the meaty seitan cooked in vegetable stock and tomato, filled in puff pastry folds, baked until golden and crisp and topped with a refreshing vegan Greek style yogurt, black pepper and oregano.
Easy to make with the store bought vegan puff pastry, already cut into 5 squares. Most ready made puff pastry is vegan, just double check the ingredients, as the more expensive brands often use the cows butter, not the human plant based butter.. the cheap puff pastry ones are usually vegan per default.

- Peel the potatoes. Chop into small cubes. Add tomato sauce, potato, seitan mince and water to a pan with the oil. Turn heat on medium high and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring often, until potatoes are fully cooked and the sauce has reduced and become thick.
