It’s cold, wet and sh*tty outside. No wonder your body is craving carbs and needs comfort food.

I hate food waste. So when I have bits and pieces hanging around in the fridge I try to come up with a recipe to use them. Left over potatoes and broccoli from previous meals are delicious when well seasoned and combined with cheese. This recipe isn’t dainty or sophisticated, but it does taste really good.

Makes 4 good sized pasties

Ingredients

375 Gram pack of pre-rolled puff pastry

250 Grams Cooked potatoes

150 Grams Cooked broccoli

100 Grams Mature Cheddar (grated)

1 Egg

1/2 Tsp Garlic powder

Salt and pepper

Method

1. In a bowl break up the cooked potato and broccoli with a fork.
2. Add the grated cheese, garlic powder and salt and pepper (the mix needs a good amount of seasoning, to don’t forget to taste the filling)
3. Unroll your sheet of pastry and cut into four smaller sheets
4. Add the filling to one half of each sheet
5. Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg, and fold the pastry over, crimping the edges of the pastry with a fork.
6. Lightly brush the top with beaten egg, and bake in an oven, pre – heated to 200 degrees. Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown
