Help me decide what to do with my puff pastry please

So, last week dp made a 'Polish Pie' (recipe by Lesley Waters) which was lovely. It consisted of new potatoes, savoy cabbage, feta cheese and thyme inside puff pastry. I have promised to make another pie tomorrow because everybody loved that one so much. What can I put in it? It needs to be vegetarian and not involve mushrooms or tomatoes.

Please inspire me - dp has only learned to cook in the last couple of years but I can't have him thinking he's better than me! :)

Cheese & onion
Roast vegetables

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 10/03/2012 19:54

Thanks. Which vege do you think?

I had a nice tart recently - puff pastry topped with what was essentially thick ratatouille and then blobs of mozarella. You said no tomatoes though - I think something like roasted red onions, fennel and courgettes with herbs (either rosemary or basil perhaps?) would work.

Caramalized onions, walnuts, chestnuts and cheese.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 10/03/2012 20:02

Both sound lovely - want a pie with a bottom and a top, not a tart (because I am v greedy and I love puff pastry!).

I did onions, butternut squash, courgette, sweet potato etc. I cheated & got a Schwartz Mediterranean veg spice mix & roasted the veg in that first, then transferred to the pastry to finish off cooking. You could add feta too.

last night we had an awesome galette made with spring onions, a mixture of leftover cheeses and some walnuts added to the top for the last 10 minutes.

Really easy and really tasty. you leave the spring onions whole, with the green bits still attached.

Agh - decisions, decisions... :)

Thank you.

Leeks (already sautéed) potatoes (lightly fried) and double cream.

Roast peppers and goat's cheese.

Wilted spinach, spring onions, feta, dill.

You can do either of the above with fylo pastry as well.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 11/03/2012 11:02

Thank you.

How about leek, potato and gruyere - or leek, potato and stilton? DD1 will complain about the, 'cheesiness' of either of those though.

Any more please? :)

Last Easter DH's uncle made an amazing pie filled with spinach, feta, pine nuts (so far, so spanakopita) but then a couple of whole boiled eggs. Apparently it's an Italian traditional Easter pie. It was amazing!

PS the best spanakopita/börek recipe I've got is the one in Claudia Roden's book of Jewish Food - I can post it if you want to go down that route. Not too cheesy and nicer made with puff pastry than phyllo

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 12/03/2012 19:53

Oh it sounds lovely, thank you - except I detest cooked spinach. I have tried and tried to make myself like it and I just can't - it always feels/tastes like eating Womble food.

Apple. No one said it had to be savoury...

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 12/03/2012 20:00

Mmmmmmmmmmmm apple pie....

But I do want savoury please, although I didn't make that entirely explicit.
