Friday Pie Day Faux Pas: Roast Veggie Puff

This is a really easy recipe to make and so comforting and light to eat.

I was quite surprised that I managed to do this actually considering the disaster I had trying to make puff pastry last week...

Last Friday, it took me all of two hours to get the pastry right (for what turned out to be sausage dumps!). It was a sticky mess, I stuck it in the fridge in the hope that it would firm up and was hopelessly incorrect, and had some angry moments slapping the dough onto the table, shouting at it to just "work with me here!"

This week, I managed to learn from my mistakes and got the consistency just right. Alas, me being prone to a Hungry-Jenny-Faux-Pas, I did make a bit of a blunder and accidentally made twice the amount of filling for the puff...

You see, this recipe is great to try if you have loads of veg to use up but I obviously got carried away and chopped up pretty much the entire contents of my fridge. Cauliflower, courgette, peppers, chickpeas, onions, sweet potato, coriander, as well as houmous made with lemon juice, more chickpeas, chopped tomatoes, paprika and spring onions. Whew!

I then proceeded to scoop the filling onto the pastry and then realised I should have put the pastry onto the baking tray first.

With the help of two fish slices, I got the puff onto the tray in one piece and complete disaster was avoided.

And look! It came out looking the right colour!



I was planning to put the recipe up but as you might have guessed, my ingredient measurements were all over the place, so I'll need to work on that and do it another time!

Pie out.
