These vegan savory pies with broccoli and tofu are really delicious and a feast for the eyes. The combination of fibers in the broccoli and proteins in the tofu makes these pies very filling!
Inspiration from England
You may have seen on Instagram that I visited London last week. England is my favorite destination. I get a lot of inspiration from this country!
In London many restaurants have a pie as a vegan option. I really like puff pastry. It is my ultimate vegan comfort food! Earlier I made a savory pie with leek and vegan bacon.This time I make savory pies with broccoli and tofu.

6 slices of puff pastry

jar of black pitted olives

1tbs mustard

2 tbs lemon juice
