Pastry recipe here.
Note: I used cheats frozen puff pastry sheets x 4 for half the pasties when I lost the will to live and just wanted to roll stuff up and get on with my day.
Filling
Ingredients:
- 2.5 kgs Rocket
- – 5 medium to large onions
- 10 – 15 cloves garlic

Chop and Saute onions, garlic and spices with peanut oil then place through a food processor (once cooled sufficiently!) to mince. Pour into mixing bowl and add shredded cheese or ricotta and Heidi’s home made tomato sauce recipe.
Rolling it all up:

- Bake @ 180 degrees for 30 or so minutes.
