Sautée some veggies briefly in olive oil (shallots, celery, carrots, green beans, peas, corn, and potato) then throw in some stock (just a little) and simmer for a little bit to let the veggies release their juice.
Don't overcook! Keep them a bit crisp! (I chopped my veggies into medium sized cubes.)
Stir in a bit of roux to thicken the liquid into a sauce. Salt and pepper. Oregano is nice too, fresh if you have it.
Put some (cooled!) veggies into the centre of a circle of pastry. I added cubed cheddar to some, Roche Noir (a blue cheese), and parmesan to others, and chopped hard boiled egg. More black pepper and salt.
Fold your pastry circles into half-moons and seal the edges. Make some slits or holes to let out the steam.
Bake at 400 degrees until golden and perfect. Enjoy how good your house smells. Makes some extras to take to work for lunch :)
You can put whatever you like in these. A lot of cheese. More than you think you need. I really like them with caerphilly, I ate a ton of cheese pasties when I was in Wales! I also had some good curried pasties in the UK.
