Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Trim the carrot and parsnip, then quarter lengthways (no need to peel). Chop widthways into small pieces.
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Place a large pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the carrot, parsnip, cajun spice and beef and pork mince and fry for 6-8 mins. Use a spoon to break up the mince as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper. Lower the heat to a medium-high, and add the stock, creme fraiche, garlic, tomato paste, 150ml water (per 2P) and a pinch of sugar.
IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince. Mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Cover and cook for another 10-12 mins until the veggies are softened, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of water, if required to loosen the sauce. Stir through a knob of butter in the end. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Pop the mix into an appropriately shaped oven dish and lay the puff pastry over the dish and cover and tuck at the edges.
Brush the top of the puff pastry with a little milk.
Bake the beef and pork pie in the top of the oven for 20-25 mins, until the top is golden brown.
When there is 10 mins remaining for the pie to be cooked, pick the mint leaves and roughly chop (discard the stalks).
Place a small pot over medium-high heat with a knob of butter.
Add the peas and mint. Fry for 3-5 mins and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Carefully remove the pie from the oven and divide between plates at the table. Serve the minted peas alongside.
