Servings 36

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 brown onion diced
  • 200 g spinach roughly chopped
  • 400 g tin Brown lentils drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups Pumpkin steamed and mashed
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 cup wholegrain Breadcrumbs
  • 2 Tbsp Tomato sauce
  • 3 sheets Puff pastry cut in half
  • 2 Tbsp Sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large frypan on medium heat. Add the onion and saute for 5min until softened and translucent. Remove from heat and stir through the spinach so that it begins to wilt.
  • In a large bowl combine the pumpkin, onion, spinach, brown lentils, tomato sauce, bread crumbs and 1 egg.
  • Preheat the oven to 190C.
  • Lay out the rectangular pastry sheet with the long edge closet to you. Brush egg along the long edge furthest away from you. Get 1/6th of the filling and shape into a long log shape down the middle of the pastry. Ensure the mixture is tight and compact without gaps.
  • Roll up the pastry, finishing with the seam side down. Cut each log into 6 equal pieces. Spread them out on a lined baking tray and then brush them with egg and sprinkle over sesame seeds.
  • Bake in the oven for 30mins until golden.

Notes

To make pumpkin, peel and remove pumpkin seeds. Roughly chop the pumpkin and steam for 10-15min until soft. Mash with a fork and allow to cool.
