Default Butternut Squash And Gruyere Pasties

Butternut Squash And Gruyere Pasties

Serves 4
Preparation time less than 30 mins
Cooking time 30 mins to 1 hour

1 Tbsp light olive oil
125g/5oz Serrano ham, cubed
2 Tbsp fresh sage, sliced
225g/8oz butternut squash, cut into 1cm/1/2in cubes
1 medium onion, very finely sliced
140g/5oz Gruyere, grated
3 Tbsp double cream
2 x 375g/13oz sheets of ready-made short-crust pastry
1 free-range egg
Maldon sea salt and freshly ground white pepper

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan. Fry the ham
until it begins to turn crispy. Add the sage and toss quickly. Tip on to a plate lined
with kitchen paper. Make the filling by mixing the butternut squash, onion, cheese,
crispy ham and sage. Season generously with salt and freshly ground white pepper and
then mix thoroughly with the cream. Place one sheet of pastry onto a floured board.
Take a plate large enough to cut out 2 circles from the pasty. You can also just divide
into two to make a triangle pasty. Whisk the egg up and add a teaspoon of water to make
egg wash. Place a quarter of the mixture onto one half of the pastry. Brush the inside
edges with some egg wash, then carefully close to from a purse shape. Using a fork
gently crimp the edges. Brush the top with more of the egg wash and place on a baking
tray. Repeat the process to make the remaining three. Place in the oven for ten
minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 180C/350F/Gas 4 and cook for a further 25 to 30
minutes when the pastry will be golden brown and the pasties cooked through. Serve hot
or at room temperature.
