      2 – 3 onions
      125 grams sliced mushrooms
      1 x 200g pack of sieved tomatoes

    Roll out short crust pastry into two circles and use half of it to line a shallow pie dish, reserving the other to cover the pie.
    Fry onions until softened and beginning to colour, add mushrooms and continue frying until softened.
    Add tomatoes and stock, then lentils and Sosmix. Add herbs and pepper.
    Simmer together very slowly for about 15 or 20 minutes. The mixture should have absorbed all the liquid and be fairly firm.
    You can add lemon juice and or soured cream at this point according to taste.

    Sosmix Sausage Pie by Ellie Farrow

    Ingredients:
    1 500g packet of Jus-roll pastry (shortcrust or puff) or make your own.
    Approx 1/3 of a packet of Sosmix
    1-2 onions - finely chopped
    1-2 cloves of garlic - crushed
    1 table spoon soy sauce
    1-2 teaspoons mixed herbs
    Dash of black pepper
    Additional optional fillings:
    This is purely optional and to everyone's own own taste but I like to add a few chopped mushrooms.
    A little cubed boiled potato, swede and/or carrot etc is also good.

    Method:
    Divide the pastry into two - one piece for the pie case and one for the lid.
    Mix up the Sosmix with water and the soy sauce and pepper to form a soft sausage mix and leave to stand.
    Gently fry the onion and garlic (and mushroom if using) with the mixed herbs until soft.
    Add half the onion mix to the sausage mix. And any additional fillings.
    Grease the pie tin(s) and roll out the pie case(s).
    Place the sausage mix into the pie case(s) and firm down.
    Put the rest of the onion mix on top of the sausage.
    Roll out the pie lid(s) and place on top of the pie.
    Crimp the edges of the pie case and decorate with any left over pastry - I like to make flowers or leaf shapes.
    Brush with a little soya milk and bake in the over (gas 7 / 200C) for about half an hour or until golden.
    Eat straight away or serve cold - it's yummy either way :) Enjoy!

    Posh SosiRoll by Laura Hadland

    Pastry
    400g all purpose flour
    3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
    pinch of salt
    lukewarm water as needed

    Filling
    One pack sosmix made up as per instructions
    100g spinach wilted in a pan with seasoning - keep as dry as possible
    50g ricotta cheese or vegan alternative cheese
    50g lightly chopped, toasted pinenuts

    Make up the pastry, put in the fridge to chill while you assemble the filling.
    Take the Sosmix and shape into a chunky rectangle about 1" thick
    Roll out the pastry into a wider rectangle that will wrap all the way around the Sosmix.
    Along the centre lay out a thick line of the spinach, then thickly spread the ricotta over the top.
    Sprinkle the pinenuts on to the ricotta and season.
    Put the Sosmix on top and wrap the pastry around the whole lot like a sausage roll.
    Turn so the fold is on the bottom, egg wash and put on a baking tray.
    Bake for about 30 minutes on 190 C until golden brown.

    Serve with new potatoes and green beans or if you're not feeling so fancy, chips and beans!
