Number Of Ingredients 7

175 g split peas (green dried)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 brown onion (small finely chopped)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
3 teaspoons curry powder (mild)
4 sheets frozen puff pastry (partially thawed)
1 egg (lightly beaten)

Steps:

  • Place peas in a saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil over high heat and then reduce heat to medium and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes or until peas are tender, drain.

  • Using a 10cm round cutter, cut 5 rounds from each pastry sheet and brush edge of round with egg.
  • Spoon 1 level tablespoon of mixture onto the centre of each round and spread to form a 5cm log and then fold up 2 sides of the pastry to enclose the log and pinch to seal and then twist ends to form points.
  • Place on prepared trays and brush with remaining egg.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until puffed and golden.
  • Stand for 4 minutes before serving.
  • TO FREEZE - place uncooked pastizzi on a baking tray lined with baking paper and freeze for 2 to 3 hours or until firm and then transfer to a large snaplock bag, expel air from bag and freeze for up to 1 month.
  • TO REHEAT - preheat oven to 220C (200C fan forced). Line 2 baking trays with baking paper and place frozen pastizzi on prepared trays and bake for 25 minutes or until golden and heated through.

These pastizzi were a fun and unique twist on the classic dish. I loved the combination of flavors and textures, and the curry powder gave them a nice kick. I would definitely recommend trying this recipe!

Overall, I thought the pastizzi were just okay. I don't think I'll be making them again.

The pastizzi were a bit greasy. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

The pastry was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I'll roll it out thinner next time.

The filling was a bit bland. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

The pastizzi were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think I'll try making them again with less curry powder next time.

I'm not a huge fan of peas, but I really enjoyed these pastizzi. The curry powder really elevated the flavor of the peas, and the pastry was cooked to perfection.

These curried pea pastizzi were a hit with my family! The filling was flavorful and satisfying, and the pastry was flaky and golden brown. I will definitely be making these again.
