Ingredients
- ¼ small Kent pumpkin (or any pumpkin you like), cut into small cubes
- 1 red onion, cut into small chunks
- 3 stalks rainbow chard (optional), cut into small chunks
- ½ small sweet potato, cut into small cubes
- 12 small potatoes, cut into small cubes
- 1-2 tbsp Rich Glen Signature extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
- ½ cup Rich Glen Christmas Stuffing
- 3 sheets shortcrust pastry (you can use puff pastry if you wish; you may just need to reduce the cooking time slightly)
- Fresh basil leaves, to garnish
Directions
- Preheat oven to 200°C.
- Line two baking trays with paper and set aside.
- Add chopped veggies to both trays, drizzle over Rich Glen EVOO, and make sure there is space around the veggies to allow them to cook and crisp up.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then add the Christmas Stuffing, toss to combine, and return to the oven for a further 10-15 minutes or until veggies are just cooked.
- Meanwhile, take the pastry out to allow it to defrost. When it starts to soften, use a large bowl or plate to cut a large circle from the pastry (using as much of the pastry as possible).
- When the veggies are cooked, allow them to cool slightly, then add them to the pastry, making sure to leave about a 3cm edge around the pastry. You can pile the veggies quite high.
- Fold over the edges of the pastry, pinching it together as you go around the edges.
- Brush the pastry edges with a little more olive oil, sprinkle the top of the veggies with a little Christmas Stuffing, and pop into the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is cooked and golden brown.
- Serve warm with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of goat cheese (optional).
