INGREDIENTS


pastry
1 cup plain flour
1 cup wholemeal plain flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
150ml water

2 large potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, sliced
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
200g pumpkin, peeled and chopped into 2cm pieces
125g cherry tomatoes
100g beans, trimmed and halved
100g broadbeans (blanched and skinned)
6 silverbeet leaves, coarsely chopped and wilted
150g goat’s cheese, crumbled (use other cheese if preferred)
1 egg, lightly beaten




METHOD


Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C (fan forced). OR GET THE FIRE OR BEADS READY

To make the pastry, place the flours, oil, salt and water into a large mixing bowl, stir with a wooden spoon until it forms a stiff dough. Knead for 10 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic. Wrap in cling film and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Meanwhile, place potato into a saucepan of salted boiling water and cook for 10 minutes until just tender. Drain and coarsely crush with a fork, allow to cool.

Heat oil in a small frying pan over medium heat, add onions and garlic and cook for 5 minutes until browned. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Remove pastry from refrigerator and roll ½ the dough into a 35cm disc and place on a greased and lined baking sheet.

Place potato in an even layer over pastry leaving a 2cm space around the edge. Top with onions, pumpkin, cherry tomatoes and beans. Place the silverbeet and goat’s cheese over the top, season with salt and pepper.

Roll out remaining pastry to cover. Brush edges with egg and seal by crimping. Cut holes in the top and brush with egg.

Bake in the oven for 40 minutes until golden.

Sorry BBC the picture is the one from the show I havent actually made it just thought it was a good healthy recipe that would go ok camping and in the CO.  I was pleased with the shortcrust I used on the Lemon Pie as I am not that good on pastry and use the frozen stuff mostly.

I was surfing the other day and I cant remember where or what or who and they had what they said was a foolproof pastry.  It was a mixture of cream cheese and butter and refrigerated and looked lovely and flakey.  Sometimes these things float back into the brain LOL.  I thought I had put it in favs but cant find it.  I know we used to  make pastry by rolling and spreading with butter and folding doing it again and again.

I really like phyllo pastry best as you can keep the fat down and still get flakey pastry and it cooks well in the CO.  The only problem for with it is that I never find refreezing the unused works.
