Chicken Pasties

This was my first attempt at making pasties.
It is a little time consuming but very easy.
This amount makes a lot of pasties so I cooked half and froze half.
They froze really well, I wrapped them in baking paper so they wouldn't stick together.




Makes 12

Get This - 

• 30g unsalted butter
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 1 tsp curry powder
• 1/2 carrot, peeled, grated
• 1 sticks celery, chopped
• 5 button mushrooms, chopped
• 1 cup shredded, barbecued chicken
• 1 cup frozen corn kernels
• 1 tbs plain flour
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 3 sheets puff pastry, defrosted
• Milk or egg yolk, to brush pastry

Note - You can change the vegetable to suit your taste, or to use whatever you have in the fridge. I used carrot, zucchini (finely diced, not grated), cabbage and corn.


Do This -

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add onion and curry and fry until onions are soft but not brown. Add carrot and celery and cook for 1-2 minutes.
2. Add mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes. Add chicken and corn and stir until combined. Stir in flour, then gradually start adding stock, stirring, until mixture thickens. Set aside to cool.
3. Cut each pastry sheet into 4. Add about 2 spoons of the mixture to the centre of a piece of pastry. Fold over a corner diagonally to enclose the filling and form a triangle. Use a fork to seal the edges, then brush with milk or egg yolk.
4. Repeat with remaining pastry and mixture. Place on a lined baking tray and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
5. Serve with a green salad or steamed vegetables

Pizza Puff Slice

This was a lovely, light meal. Perfect for a warm evening.


Prep Time - 20 mins

Cooking Time - 20 mins

Serves - 4


Get this:

2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons tomato paste
6-8 slices leg ham
1 red capsicum finely sliced
1 red onion finely sliced
1 cup mozzarella, grated
12 baby bocconcini

Do this:

Preheat oven to 200degC and line 2 oven trays with baking paper. Place pastry sheets on trays, pierce all over with a fork, then brush milk around the edges of the pastry.
(I didn't have a pastry brush so used rolled up baking paper & cut the end to form 'bristles'...clever, I know!)

Spread tomato paste over pastry sheets, leaving a 1cm border around the edge. Cut ham into strips and arrange on top. Scatter over the capsicum and onion, then top with mozzarella and torn bocconcini. Fold the 1cm edge of pastry to form a lip and brush with milk.

Bake for 15-20mins until crisp and golden brown. Cut each into quarters to serve.


Serve with salad of rocket, cherry tomatoes, capsicum & more bocconcini drizzled with virgin olive oil.

TIPS
You could add olives and/or replace the bocconcini with crumbled fetta.
You could also top with roughly chopped parsley if you like it. I don't, so I didn't.
