Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 10 min.
Line your tin or mould with puff pastry, taking care to keep the edge in contact with the tin.
This is much easier if the pastry is very cold, just out of the fridge.

Dip a brush in water and wet the edges of puff pastry to make it stick.

Remarks
You can make this pie with other vegetables. If so try to keep the potatoes as the bottom layer because it's this layer which soaks up any juice from the other vegetables.
You can also add herbs and/or a dash of olive oil with herbs.
If you find that 100% vegetables tastes a bit bland, you can add 2 or 3 tablespoons of grilled bacon to the beans.
