It looks good, but beware! This dish is from space, full of alien snot and disgusting peas.

I honestly don’t know what I was thinking when making this. I’ve never liked peas or spinach. Sometimes I put spinach in things, but never enough of it to actually let it add any flavour, just a little of it for vitamins and iron. So, making this frittata I must have completely lost my mind. In it there’s peas, spinach, eggs and onion. Not good. I actually didn’t even swallow my only bite of it.

Thankfully I made some awesome and tasty pasties earlier today intended for freezing but now ending up on my plate as a replacement dinner. These pasties are incredibly tasty and easy to make, they freeze well and they’re rather healthy for a pasty.

I used whole wheat flour for the dough (which besides that happens to be your typical yeast pizza dough). The filling has some cheese in it, but you could easily leave that out and it would be delicious anyway.

Vegetable pasties:

Dough:

• 2 dl (7 fl oz) water (lukewarm)
• 25g (1 oz) fresh yeast
• 1 tbsp oil
• ½ tsp salt
• 5 dl (17½ fl oz) whole wheat flour

Stir the yeast and the lukewarm water together. Make sure the water is not hotter than body temperature, you don’t want to kill the yeast. Add oil and salt. Add the flour. Knead the dough well and then let it rest and grow for about 30 mins.

In the mean time… Turn the oven to 200ºC ( 400ºF) and then

Filling:

• 2 smallish carrots
• 2 potatoes
• 2 tbsp tomato purée
• 1 onion
• 1 broccoli head (no stems what so ever)
• 2 small garlic cloves
• ½ stock cube
• 1 dl (3½fl oz) water
• 2 tbsp mixed herbs (basil, oregano, thyme)
• salt, pepper
• 2 dl (7 fl oz) low fat grated cheese

Grate the carrots. Cut the potatoes in small cubes. Chop the onion finely. Cut the broccoli. Put it all into a bowl. Add the grated cheese, finely chopped garlic, tomato purée, water, stock cube, herbs and seasonings. Stir it all together.

Divide the dough into 8 equally big balls and use a rolling pin to make 15cm big circles. Put some filling on the middle of the circle and pinch the dough together. When all of them are made, oven for about 10-15 minutes.They’re fantastic with a salad or in your hand on the go.
