To celebrate St. David’s Day, we have a Welsh vegetable oggie (pasty) recipe from British Leeks for you to try with your friends or family.
Makes: 4.
- Add the leeks, potatoes and carrots to a saucepan with the butter and garlic and sweat down on a medium heat for around 6 to 7 minutes before adding the dried herbs.
- Stir the mix of vegetables through and season with salt and pepper then remove from the heat.
- Pre-heat the oven to 200 deg. C., 400 deg. F., Gas Mark 6 and line a baking tray.
- Prepare the pastry by rolling out on to the prepared baking tray. Divide into 4 squares then roughly cut a circle shape in each square.
- Once the vegetable mixture has cooled slightly, add a good scoop to each circle, then fold the circle in half and twist the edges together to create a seal.
- Using a pastry brush, coat the pastry with the tamari or a mix of melted butter and paprika. Then pop in the oven for 25 minutes, until nicely browned.
