Ingredients:
Makes 32
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 onion (diced)
- 1 pointed sweet pepper (deseeded and diced)
- 1 tomato (deseeded and diced)
- 1 tin of callaloo
- 1 tin of lentils
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 level tablespoons curry sauce mix
- 4 packs of ready rolled puff pastry (375g a pack)
- 1 egg (beaten - for the egg wash)
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan oven or gas mark 7)
- Open, drain and rinse the lentils. Then open and drain the callaloo
- Place the cooking oil in a deep-frying pan over a low heat and sauté the onions for 2 to 3 minutes
- Add the diced sweet pepper, diced tomato, and thyme and cook gently for another 2 to 3 minutes
- Add the lentils and callaloo, then add the curry sauce mix and stir well. Once stirred through, remove from the heat and allow to cool
- Open the ready rolled puff pastry and use a large circular pastry cutter to cut 8 circles from each sheet of pastry (this will make 32 in total)
- Place a spoon of the filling in the centre of each pastry circle
- Wet the edges of the pastry circles and fold in half, pinching them closed
- Place the pasties on a baking sheet and brush the beaten egg over the pasties using a pastry brush. Then pierce each pasty a couple of times with a fork to allow steam to escape
- Place in the oven for 15 minutes
