Serves 4.
Ingredients
Pastry
• 225 g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
• 1/2 tsp turmeric
• 75 g chilled butter, cubed
• 50 ml milk
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 egg, lightly beaten, for egg wash
Filling
• 150 g potatoes, chopped into 1cm dice
• 150 g diced swede
• 450 g duck confit
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• pinches cinnamon
To serve
• sweet chilli sauce, or smoked habanero sauce
Method
1. For the pastry: put the flour, turmeric, butter and a pinch of salt into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until crumbly.
2. Add the milk and egg yolk and pulse together until it forms a dough.
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a few minutes. Wrap in clingfilm and leave to chill in the fridge for 1 hour.
4. For the filling: combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix gently but thoroughly.
5. Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4.
6. Remove the pastry from the fridge, divide into 4 equal portions and roll each portion out to a 20cm-diameter circle.
7. Put a spoonful of the filling on top of each circle, brush the edges with egg wash and fold the circle in half to enclose the filling. Press the edges with a fork to seal and brush the pasty with egg wash. Put on a baking tray and bake for about 30-40 minutes until golden.
8. Serve the pasties with sweet chilli sauce and/or smoked habanero sauce.
Footnote.
Duck confit is available in tins, or you can make your own by roasting duck legs slowly in the oven under a layer of duck fat until cooked.
