Vegetarian Pasties with Hot Water Crust Pastry - Cheap, Tasty & Filling! Episode 7

Описание: #cheap #homemade #frugal #cookyourown #britishpieweek

Follow us on our journey of homemade dishes and home cookery vlog.

In this weeks episode I am cooking homemade pasties using Hot Water Crust Pastry which I am making from scratch. I have worked out that it is around 50% cheaper for us to make our own pasties using ingredients that are in the store cupboard. Also, Hot Water Crust Pastry is really easy to make and very easy to work with especially for beginners. If you follow my recipe and method it will work well.
The great thing about this recipe is you could adapt it to make pasties and pies with all manner of different fillings both sweet and savoury.
My ethos throughout this series is to have a go and see what you can do with the ingredients that you have at home. I would also encourage you to buy ingredients when they are on offer - obviously don't overbuy - and always bear in mind use by dates. Also consider that certain foods store really well - for example butter is great kept in the freezer until you need to use it.
All the ingredients and method is contained in the video.
Here are the ingredients
For the pastry
300g Plain flour
150g Wholemeal bread flour
150g Butter
125ml boiling water
For the filling
2 small onions
3 potatoes
4 small carrots
2 sticks celery
150g vegetarian mince whatever brand you like - soya, TVP, Quorn
Olive oil, mixed herbs, gravy granules, bouillon powder, black pepper.
Beaten egg to wash the pastry

I baked them in a fan oven at 200 degrees centigrade for around 25 minutes.

Welcome to a new series for 2022! Prices are from 2022

We all enjoy cheap, tasty and filling meals and with the cost of living on the increase, many of us want to cook tasty home made meals on a budget.
I love to cook a hearty filling meal from scratch using healthy ingredients that we have in stock, along with a few processed foods here and there. For example we do enjoy using Vegetarian Sausages, Quorn or Soya Mince from time to time.
I also like to use some of the cookery skills that I learnt many years ago at school which I have found very useful throughout my life. Using cookery skills and the different cooking methods, one can learn to put together meals that look impressive and appetising to friends and family, taste absolutely great, are healthy too, but are in reality, very easy to make and put together even if you are shopping on a budget or like to be as frugal as possible, without compromising on flavour.
I am also using this series to pass on and teach you some of the basic cookery skills and nutritional knowledge that I have learnt over time. I am sure there are many viewers who have never cooked before - once you learn the basics you can apply the skills to a number of different ingredients and start to use your creativity to build dishes that suit your tastes. As with everything, practice makes perfect and I really hope that I can pass on some valuable cookery hints, tips and tricks in this new series of cookery videos.
The idea around this series of videos is to inspire you to try putting together tasty meals with the ingredients that you have in stock at home and to learn some of the skills. I also aim to encourage you to put together a store cupboard of ingredients that can be added to dishes to bulk them out and add flavour.
This video contains an approximate breakdown of the cost of the ingredients. The costs will really depend on where you shop and how much you are willing to pay. We believe in getting a lot of our foods when they are on offer and making sure we have plenty of items in stock. I wouldn't say that we are preppers but when it comes to getting a bargain on those store cupboard items we probably think like the preppers do. Most of these recipes will make enough for at least 4 people but with a little tweaking will feed many more.
These videos are ideal for people cooking on a budget, people wishing to try vegetarian foods for the first time, people wishing to feed friends and family, students cooking for the first time or simply those of you wishing to try out a new recipe.
