I made a vegetarian version using what I happened to have in the cupboard and fridge - yellow split peas, carrots, garlic, onions, mushrooms cooked in vegetable stock and flavoured it with a good dollop of marmite.
They can be savoury or sweet, are delicious hot or cold and you can freeze them before baking which makes it a good recipe to do in bulk.
Cameron was very impressed, he thought they were very cute and I'm inclined to agree - although I think I'd pay more attention to detail next time, I'm not good with the fiddly stuff. I might make them larger too so the veg mixture to pastry ratio was slightly more healthy!
When I saw the one that had leaked the gravy mixture out of it's mouth I thought that berry pies would be an awesome idea for halloween treats - you could manipulate them to leak purple juice in quite a gory way!
fab packed lunch food, love what you are doing with the bento idea :)
ReplyDeleteThey're lovely! Your veggie version sounds delicious :0)
ReplyDeleteAngel is very impressed and wants to make some tomorrow, although I have a feeling she'll go for sweet fillings. X
They look fab and sound yummy :-)
