I tried making these tonight as a simple rustic meal: we went to a 7 year old’s birthday party (@ McDonald’s) and we all need something solid to settle us down.
A book I’m reading — “Hope’s Edge: The Next Diet for a Small Planet” (Frances Moore Lappe, Anna Lappe) — has a lot of simple whole food-base recipes between the chapters and at the end of the text. So I tried these, and they were a success, even though I realized I had much to learn before I could call them good.
They are little pastries, about the size of a fried fruit pie, filled with seasoned vegetables or meat, and baked for 15 – 20 minutes. I filled mine with potato chunks, peas, scallions, cheese and some cumin.
The recipe will come later when I have experimented a bit more. The dough was unlike any other pastry — more forgiving and malleable — and I need to get a better sense of quantities for the filling.
But in the meantime, here are some other variants.
