Spiced pea & potato rolls

Do you know that feeling when you're going through a magazine and seeing a posted recipe, or passing through a food store and seeing prepared food and all you want is to bite into it, cause it makes you mouthwatering?

I often got that with magazines and food-stands. But what's the problem? It is mostly not vegan!

A few days ago, while passing by an oriental foodtruck they selled those vegetable-meat-pastry-rolls, beside the meat they smelled so good and what did I - I asked the owner what - beside the meat he used for them, incl. spices. All he told me that the ingredients are curried. Well anyway I went home and my mind was working. Shouldn't be much work to try them out. 

A few days later I made the first ones, I kept it really simple, like I would cook a pan curried vegetables but then rolled it up in a pastry roll.

I got to say that they were really good and I got many options to fill it. 

Great dish!

Spiced pea & potato rolls

Serves: 4
Prep: 15 min
Cook: 35 min

Ingredients:
2 tbsp vegetable oil or sunflower oil
2 onions, finely sliced
300g potatoes, cut into small cubes
1 headped tbsp. curry paste
140g frozen or fresh peas
4 large sheets filo pastry, cut in half
tomatoes, onion and mango chutney, to serve

Direction:
Heat oven to 200C. Heat half the oil in a frying pan. Add the onions and cook until soft and golden, about 8-10 min.

Meanwhile, boil the potato cuts for 5 min., until just tender, then drain. Give to the softened onions and fry for 2 min. Stir in the curry paste and cook for 2 min. Pop in the peas, plus 1 tbsp water. Cook for 1 min, stirr well and season. Give into a bowl and allow to cool lightly.

Brush half the filo half-sheets with some of the oil and lay the remaining sheets on top to get 4 x double layers. Spoon a ¼ of the potato mix along one edge of each, leaving a bit of space at each end. Fold in the ends then roll up to seal. 

Place closed-side down on a baking sheet, brush with oil and bake for 20 mins, or until crisp. 

Serve warm along with some mango chutney, salad of your desire, if you like.
