I made these for dinner last night, and I made far too many so we're having them again tonight!
The recipe is loosely based on one of Mollie Katzen's, from the Moosewood cookbook.
The pastry is really easy, just 1 cup of kefir (the recipe says buttermilk, but kefir worked fine. Runny plain yoghurt would probably work fine too)mixed up with 2.5-3ish cups of flour, and some salt. I used mostly wholewheat flour with a little white. You just mix it all up and knead for a few minutes then roll out into circles ready to put the filling in.
For the filling I sauteed some finely chopped onion, garlic, broccoli and cauliflower in olive oil with some spices, then added mashed potato. Easy!
Once I'd assembled them, I brushed on some olive oil, and cooked at about 210c for 15minutes, then turned the heat down to 180 and cooked a further 10-15min.
The dipping sauce was made by putting 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 3Tbsp raw sugar and some garlic into a saucepan and boiling for about 15min.

i would love to make this, but the pastry intimidates me :o( ...
honestly it is so easy! you could use buttermilk if you have it - just 1 cup of buttermilk/kefir/yoghurt to 2.5 cups of flour and mix/knead it until it looks like dough. thats it!
Hi Jenn! :) I know this may be a bit weird since we haven't actually met (haha), but I'm having a fashion swap party on Sunday afternoon ... Christina's going to be there :) I wondered if you would like to come? My email address is andrea.eames[at]gmail.com ... if you're keen, shoot me an email and I'll send you all the details.

These look so yummy! I am totally inspired to make some myself. By the way, if you are "into" soaking your grains, your pastry recipe would be so easy to "soak". :-)
Kimi - Good point, I did actually soak half the flour in the kefir for a few hours beforehand - just forgot to write it in the recipe! I am just getting "into" soaking grains, after trying the Nourishing Traditions pancakes a few weeks ago.
Andrea - sounds like fun - I have a lot of excess clothes! I'll email you.
Hi Jenn! Just emailed you ... sorry, don't know what the deal was with my email, I seem to be getting others just fine. Oh well! :)
