Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly coat a 6-hole muffin tin with oil spray.Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, stock, coconut milk, soy sauce, and tomato paste.Step 3
Place a skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and garlic and cook for 30 sec until fragrant. Add peanut butter mixture and cook, stirring, for 2 - 3 minutes until sauce has started to thicken.Step 4
Add frozen veggies and lentils, stir to coat with sauce, and cook 1 minute further. Cool filling until just warm to the touch. Season to taste with salt and pepper.Step 5
Cut the sheets of pastry into 4 squares each. Gently ease 6 of the squares into the prepared muffin tins, allowing corners to overhang. Cut remaining pastry quarters into 4 pieces each (for 8 small squares total)Step 6
Divide filling between pastry cases. Fold overhanging corners of pastry towards the centre, then top with 6 of the small squares of extra pastry to enclose filling. Discard extra 2 pastry squares, or reserve for another purpose.Step 7
Brush tops of pies with a bit of water and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Place muffin tin on a large oven tray to catch any drips and bake 20 - 25 mins, until tops are golden and filling is hot. Serve warm or at room temperature.
