Vegetarian Savory Pumpkin Pasties Food

VEGETARIAN SAVORY PUMPKIN PASTIES

Steps:

• In a skillet, heat the oil and brown the onion and garlic together until soft and translucent.
• In a mixing bowl, mix with the pumpkin and the browned onion together.
• Whisk in the egg and yogurt/sour cream to give it a nice creamy consistency.
• Whisk in the remaining ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 350F and while it's preheating, roll out the pastry crust and use a biscuit cutter, 5-oz ramekin, or the outline of a can to cut circles.
• Grease a cookie sheet with cooking spray and line the circles up on them, spacing them out evenly.
• Put about a rounded tablespoon-ful of pasty mixture into each circle.
• Brush the edges with egg white, fold the pastry with your fingers to form semi-circles, sealing them, and crimp the edges down with a fork.
• Brush the outsides of each sealed pasty with egg white.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
• Let cool on a wire rack for about 5-10 minutes prior to eating. They are delicious with some herbed sour cream. I also like them with guacamole.

PUMPKIN PASTIES

• Thaw one sheet of frozen puff pastry dough for about 30 minutes, until flexible but still cold.
• Combine pumpkin, sugar and spices in a bowl.
• Set aside while preparing dough.
• Roll out dough until thin, about 1/16-inch, and cut into four large circles.
• Using your fingertips or a pastry brush, brush around edges of each circle with beaten egg.
• Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of pumpkin mixture into centers of circles.
• Fold circles in half to cover mixture and seal the edges by crimping with a fork (dip fork in cold water each time to keep from sticking.) Brush tops of pasties with remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with a little granulated sugar.
• Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes in the center of oven until golden.
• May be eaten warm or cold.
