These are traditional winter pasties from Dorset made with sausage meat. They are ideal for dipping into soup and make an excellent accompaniment to a Bonfire Night soup.
Ingredients:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
90g red
lentils
2 tbsp sun-dried tomato paste
200ml
vegetable stock
4 good-quality sausages, skins removed
50g frozen peas
1kg shortcrust pastry
1 egg, beaten
Method:
Heat the oil in a medium pan and fry the onion for 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the lentils and tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Add the stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until most of the stock has been absorbed and the lentils have softened then take off the heat.
Meanwhile, heat a non-stick frying pan over moderate heat. Add the sausage meat and fry for 5 minutes, breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon, until golden brown and cooked through. Mix in the peas and lentil mix then set aside to cool.
Turn out the pastry onto a lightly-floured work surface and roll out to about 6mm thick. Cut out 20 saucer-sized discs from the pastry, re-rolling the scraps to make more. Pile 1 heaped tbsp of the sausage meat mixture in the centre of each disc then brush the edges with beaten egg and fold over to seal. Pinch the edges securely together and brush with more egg.
Transfer to a lightly-floured baking tray and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes (these can actually be made up to 2 days ahead and frozen at this stage). Place in an oven pre-heated to 180°C and bake for about 20 minutes, or until cooked through and golden. Serve as a snack or as an accompaniment to soup.
