Butternut Squash Pastry for Pies

Recipe by: hidy_lady

Be the first to review it!

I love pies (my favourite meal is pie and mash!) but I don't like the fat content of the pastry so I came up with this simple but very delicious idea. Use as you would any ordinary pastry or for pasties. All measurements are approximate. If you don't like the hassle of peeling the squash, you can split it in half, take out the seeds and roast it until it's soft (about 30 - 45 minutes).

Yummy comfort food at its best, also a cunning way to get kids to eat lentils. Crispy potato topping covering a tasty blend of red lentils with carrot, onion and celery in wine and stock.

Mushroom, Stilton and Broccoli pie

Recipe by: RoseEast

I had a pie in a cafe which had some of the above ingredients and liked it but felt it was a little heave and rich. I have made my own lighter version which is tasty enough to not need any salt, which is good for everyone, not just people with heart problems.

Smoked haddock and potato pie

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Fish pie is usually popular with children, who may not otherwise be keen on fish. In this version, leek and watercress are added to boost the vitamin value, and sliced potato and cheese make an appealing topping. Try it with roasted tomatoes on the vine, cooked for about 15 minutes alongside the pie or steamed broccoli.

Spinach, cheese and egg filo pie

Filo pastry is a good, healthy alternative to its buttery cousins. This delicious pie includes spinach, which is high in vitamin C, zinc and potassium.

Venison stays juicy when it is cooked slowly and gently. Here it is combined with lots of vegetables to make a healthy, hearty family meal.
