Ingredients
- 1 pack Quorn Brilliant Bangers
- 1 green apple, grated
- 1 tbsp pickle
- 200g vegan shortcrust pastry
- 1 tsp Marmite
- Flour, for dusting
- For the quick piccalilli:
- 250ml cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- ½ tsp mustard seeds
- 2 tbsp cornflour
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 200g cauliflower, cut into small florets
- ½ red pepper, diced
- 50g cornichons, diced
- 1 tsp nigella seeds
- 1 tbsp coriander leaves, chopped
Method
- To make the pies, place the Quorn Brilliant Bangers in a food processor and blitz. Transfer into a bowl and add the the grated apple, removing any excess liquid. Add the pickle and mix well.
- Pre-heat the oven to 180C (fan)/ 200C/400F/gas mark 6.
- On a lightly floured worksurface, roll the pastry to the thickness of a pound coin. Cut 8 10cm circles and 8 5cm circles.
- Divide the prepared sausage mix into 8 and shape into balls.
- Place a ball of sausage filling into the centre of each large pastry circle. Encase the pastry around the filling. Wet the edge with a little water and top with a smaller pastry lid. Pinch the edges to seal and use a fork to indent the edges. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
- Mix the Marmite with one teaspoon of water and brush the pastry of each pie with this mixture.
- Bake in the pre-heated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Meanwhile, make the quick piccalilli by combining the vinegar, sugar and mustard seeds into a small saucepan and bringing to the boil.
- In a bowl add the cornflour and turmeric. Whisk to combine. Slowly add the hot vinegar mix whisking continually to prevent lumps. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
- Serve the Quorn vegan pies with a dollop of piccalilli. Delicious served hot or cold!

Made this for veggie guests at a summer garden party. It was gone incredibly quickly and requests for it to be made again in the future. A fab recipe.

Where's the jelly? No veg version of the jelly means it's not a porkless pie, just a meatless pie.
