- 1 Yellow pepper, deseeded and cut into 1cm (1/2in) dice
- 150 g (5.3oz) Carrots, cut into 1cm (1/2in) dice
- 300 g (10.6oz) Butternut squash, peeled, deseeded and cut into 1cm (1/2in) dice
- 4 tbsp Chopped fresh coriander leaves
- 4 Spring onions, finely chopped
- 200 g (7.1oz) Can sweetcorn, drained
- 100 g (3.5oz) Orange cheese (such as Double Gloucester), grated
- 2 tbsp Salt
- 1 handful of Patty Pastry
- 0.5 Egg, lightly beaten, to glaze
- 225 g (7.9oz) Plain flour, plus extra for dusting - for the pastry
- 1.5 tsp Ground turmeric - for the pastry
- 110 g (3.9oz) Cold butter, cut into small cubes - for the pastry
- 1 Small free-range egg, lightly beaten, to glaze - for the pastry
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C/400 degrees F/gas mark 6.
- Put the pepper, carrots and squash in a saucepan with a small amount of just-boiled water.
- Cover and cook for 4 minutes.
- Drain, put in a bowl and mix with all the other ingredients, except the pastry and beaten egg.
- Leave to cool completely.
- For the pastry, put the flour, turmeric and a pinch of salt in a bowl and rub in the butter with your fingers.
- Add 4-5 tbsp cold water, mixing quickly with a knife until the pastry comes together.
- Roll into a ball, wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.
- Cut the pastry into 6 or 8 pieces, depending on whether you want larger or smaller patties.
- Roll the first piece out into a large circle, with the pastry about 1/2cm ( 1/4in) thick.
- Put an eighth of the filling (or a sixth, if making 6 patties) on one side of the pastry, leaving about 1cm ( 1/2in) around the edge.
- Brush the edge with some of the egg glaze.
- Fold the other half of the pastry circle over the filled half and press the edges together to seal, using a fork to crimp the edges.
- Brush the patties with the remaining beaten egg glaze, place on a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper and cook in the oven for 25 minutes or until nice and golden on the outside as well as on the inside.
