Vegetarian Pasties
Here’s another great, yet simple recipe! Those who adore healthy, yet out-of-this-world pasties will without any doubt enjoy it. Let’s start with the ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter
- 3 ½ cups water
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons of distilled white vinegar
- 1 cup dry lentils
- 3 potatoes chopped
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- One chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
Now, let’s preheat your oven to 175 degrees C and then start making the dough. First, combine salt, flour, and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Mix ½ cup of water, egg, and vinegar and start stirring.
Keep on doing that until your dough becomes moist enough so you can turn it into a ball. It is supposed to look like a huge ball. Create the filling by boiling three cups of water, and then add lentils.
Cook it for up to forty-five minutes until lentils become soft. Put the potatoes in aluminum foil and leave them in the oven for half an hour. Once they have cooled, cut the potatoes into smaller pieces and add the lentils.
Put the onions into a frying pan and stir them and then add them to the lentil-potato mixture and season all of this with salt and keep on stirring. Split your dough into six to eight-inch circles. Place these circles on a floured, flat surface.
Put a single cup of filling into the center of every circle. Buckle the dough around the filling and then seal up the edges and then place your pasties on a cookie sheet and bake everything for one hour.
