Use the courgettes to make a different type of dish, away from the usual stir-fry. A recipe inspired by the Summer booklet of Waitrose
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 sweet pepper deseeded and chopped
- 2 courgettes cut into cubes
- 3 medium tomatoes skinned and chopped
- 400 grames chickpeas cooked and drained
- 2 tbsm Tahini paste can be replaced by nut butter
- 2 sheets shortcrust pastry
- 1 egg beaten, to glaze
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C, gas mark 6
- Lightly fry the onion and garlic, then add the pepper, courgettes and tomatoes and cook until juices evaporate
- Stir in the chickpeas and Tahini paste and take off the heat. Let aside to cool.
- Cut each sheet of pastry in half from corner to corner to make 4 triangles, 8 in total. Put a large spoonfull of the mixture onto every triangle. Brush the edges with the beaten egg and fold over the pastry to cover the filling. Pinch the edges to seal the pasties.
