Roasted Winter Vegetable Turnovers
I used parsnips, carrots, and squash for the veg in these turnovers. You can use any veggies you happen to have growing locally, or in your garden. I also used herbs from my garden : rosemary, flat leaf Italian parsley, sage,fennel seeds and thyme. You could also add some Swiss chard if you happened to have any. I also like to serve the turnovers with home made chutney. This chutney is made with apples from my friend's tree.
Here's the recipe:
1 small squash, cut into 1" chunks
2 carrots, diced
2 parsnips, diced
1 onion, chopped
1 tsp. red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp. black pepper
2 tsp. fennel seeds
1 1/2 tsp. oregano
2 tsp fresh rosemary
5 Tb. parsley
salt, 2 Tb. olive oil
toss veg, herbs, salt and oil together and roast at 400 degrees for about 25 - 30 mins. spread the veggies in one layer, sparsely, on trays so they caramelize, and not steam.
Pastry:
2 1/3 cups flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups butter
1 large egg
2 T. milk.
sift the dry ing. together, mix the wet, make a well in the centre of the dry ing. and mix in the wet to form a dough. Roll out and cut into circles or triangles for the pastries.
Add the roasted veg to 1/2 cup cooked brown rice, 1 1/2 cups cheese, grated, 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts, and 1 lightly beaten egg. Place onto rolled out dough, wet the edges and fold over, pressing with a fork to seal.
Bake @ 400 degrees for 10 minutes, then @ 375 degrees for 13-20 minutes.

I just made savory vegetable turnovers, too, for our weekly food swap! Admittedly, yours are much prettier... Jennifer
