Pasties?

250g pastry

-- 125g nutalex
-- 1 cup flour
Rub nutalex into flour, add a pinch of salt and enough cold water to bind together.
Rest for 20 minutes in refrigerator before use.


1 onion
1 carrot
1 small sweet potato
2 medium potatoes
125g French beans or peas (frozen or fresh)
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp chilli
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp coriander
1/4 tsp mustard powder
salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 200 C. Cut up the carrot, sweet potatoes & potatoes into chunks and boil for around 15 minutes until fairly soft. Dice them.

While they are cooking, make the pastry.

Chop and fry the onion and add ginger, chilli, turmeric, ground cumin, coriander, mustard powder, salt and pepper. Add the veggies and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook gently for 4-5 minutes. Allow to cool.

Roll the pastry into 4 large circles or smaller ones as desired. Place filling into centre of pastry and fold into a pasty. Brush with soya milk and make a small vent in each one. Bake for 20-30 minutes. Yummy!

I vary this with whatever veggies I have on hand, throw in celery, peas, parsnip, corn swede, even beetroot sometimes if the cupboard is a bit bare!

Edit: I should have noted the nutalex and soy milk are due to no dairy in this house, so you can use normal butter/margarine & milk if you prefer
