Techniques used
Method
- Follow pastry preparation instructions. Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C for fan assisted ovens) Gas M7.
- Sauté the onion and garlic in oil for 5 minutes then add the courgette and pepper. Cook for a further 5 - 7 minutes then allow to cool.
- Unroll the pastry sheet and cut into 4 rectangles. Crumble the feta cheese into the cooled vegetables, add the tomatoes and season to taste.
- Divide the mixture on one half of the pastry, putting it just off centre of the length and leaving a border around filling of approx. 1 cm.
- Brush pastry edges lightly with beaten egg and fold pastry over the filling pressing around the edges firmly to seal. Trim the sealed sides with a sharp knife, make a slit on the top and knock up edges to seal, then brush with beaten egg to glaze and sprinkle with poppy seeds.
- Bake for 15 minutes until pastry risen and golden. Serve hot.
