Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 3 cups pumpkin- peeled and chopped into 1cm cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 large onion - sliced
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
- ½ cup firm low fat ricotta cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped flat leaf parsley
- Pinch pepper
- 2 sheets puff pastry
- 1 tablespoon milk to brush on the pastry
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 F)
- Coat the pumpkin in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the garlic salt. Place on a lined baking tray and cook until soft (approx. 20 minutes)
- Meanwhile, heat the onion in a pan with the remaining olive oil and cook over a low heat until they become translucent and soft (approximately 10 minutes) add the balsamic glaze, stir and cook for a further 2 minutes, then set aside.
- Once the onion and pumpkin are cooked, mix them together in a bowl with the pepper, parsley and crumbled ricotta cheese.
- On a lined baking tray, place the sheet of puff pastry and place half of the mixture in the middle of one sheet of pastry and then fold in the corners into the middle to seal. Do the same with the other piece of pastry and the remainder of the pumpkin mixture.
- Using a pastry brush, lightly brush with the milk. Turn the oven down to 180 C (370 F) and place in the oven to cook for 10-15 minutes or until the pastry has puffed up and is golden.
