Method

Heat the oil in a large pan over a high heat and fry the onion and mushrooms for 10 mins or until softened. Add all the other ingredients apart from the chickpea water and pastry; cook for 10 mins. Season to taste, then remove from the heat. Leave to cool to room temperature.
Meanwhile, put the reserved chickpea water in a small saucepan over a high heat. Bubble for 5 mins or until it becomes syrupy. Tip into a small bowl and leave to cool.
Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Roll out the pastry to 2-3mm thick, then use an 11cm cutter and a 9cm cutter and cut out 10 circles with each, rerolling the pastry if needed. Make 2 small slashes in the smaller circles and use the larger ones to line 10 holes of a muffin tin.
Divide the filling between the pastry cases and cover with the smaller pastry circles, crimping the edges to seal them. Brush with the reduced chickpea liquid and grind over a little black pepper. Transfer to the freezer for 10 mins.
Bake for 20-25 mins or until golden brown, turning the tray around halfway; loosely cover with foil if they start to brown too quickly. Leave to cool for 10 mins before removing from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature for a picnic. Will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
