UK pie brand Pieminister has collaborated with meat alternatives company This to launch a vegan sausage and bean handheld pie.

The innovation launches as part of a new ‘Handy Pies’ range from Pieminister, offering a range of handheld deep-filled pies that can be enjoyed on-the-go, hot or cold.

Pieminister Banger & Bean Handy Pie contains This Isn’t Pork sausages, haricot and cannellini beans, and a smoky tomato sauce baked in flaky golden pastry. It is ready to eat but can also be heated in the microwave, air fryer or oven in 15 minutes or less.

Jon Simon, Pieminister’s co-founder and MD, explained that the Handy Pie range aims to provide a convenient savoury snack, with sustainably sourced ingredients.

He commented: “Following on from the success of our This Isn’t A Chicken & Bacon Pie, which launched last year, it was just a matter of time before we collaborated with This again. Their plant-based sausages are the best out there. Put them together with beans and a rich, smoky tomato sauce and you have a winning pie filling!”

The range is now available through Ocado and Tesco stores across the UK, with a RRP of £3.00 per 170g pie.
