Pasties!

1 lot of pastry
Carrots (2 small/ 1 large)
Onion/ spring onions
1/2 parsnip
tbspn mustard
splash of water
tspn tahini (optional)
herbs/ spices (optional) I like to use curry spices/curcuma or oregano or any fresh herbs)

Chop veggies up small.
Roll out pastry, thinly (I do this directly onto greaseproof paper). Cut into oval shapes. Mix all above ingredients together in a little bowl.
Spoon filling onto one half of pastry and moisten front edge with juices/ water. Fold over, stick together by pressing down with fingertips (some people use a fork for this).
Lift greaseproof paper and pasties onto oven tray...
Cut cross shaped hole in top to let steam escape when cooking.
Cook in preheated oven, hot for 15 or 20 mins.
Let cool before eating!
These are so simple and SO delicious and satisfying!

You can obviously put what you want in it! Above is my most usual filling but depends on the season....Add seeds, do it with leeks, kale, different herbs or spices, make a sweet pastry and fill it with fruit, compote or jam for a type of apple turnover style thing.....EXPERIMENT! Don't get bored and stuck in a rut!
