Vegetable Pasties
Everyone loves a pastry product and these vegetable pasties do not disappoint. Crunchy shortcrust pastry filled with soft carrot, potato and swede. These pasties can be made kid friendly by leaving out the curry powder. Great with a green salad or packed in a picnic basket and even made smaller for party finger food.
