Easy Homemade Pasties

ingredients

• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 1/2 large swede, diced
• 1 brown onion, diced
• 1 small sweet potato, diced
• 1/2 cup frozen peas
• 2 large white potatoes, diced
• 1 tbsp curry powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 4 puff pastry sheets
• 2 eggs, whisked
• 1 tbsp paprika

method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced.
2. In a deep pan, heat olive oil over a medium to high heat.
3. Add carrots, swede, onion, sweet potato, white potato and frozen peas into the pan and cook for 10 minutes, or until vegetables have softened.
4. Add curry powder, salt and pepper. If you like heat, add 1/4 tsp of chilli flakes! Stir for 2 minutes and remove from heat.
5. Using a small bowl, place upside down on the puff pastry sheet. Using a sharp knife cut around the perimeter of the bowl, so puff pastry forms a clean circle.
6. Spoon 2-3 tbsp of mixture into the middle of the circle. Fold one edge of the circle to the other (now making a semi-circle) and press down and seal the edges.
7. Using the tip of a fork, make little grooves in the edges to ensure the edging is closed.
8. Repeat with the remaining puff pastry and vegetable mixture. Place all pasties onto a lined baking tray, ready for the oven.
9. Using a basting brush, brush the whisked egg onto each pasty and cover entirely. Evenly sprinkle paprika over the top of the pasties for extra colour.
10. Place into the oven for 20 minutes, or until lightly browned.
11. Eat with a delicious tomato sauce!
