  • 2

    Step 3

    Toss the mushrooms in a separate roasting tin and roast alongside the squash for 15 mins. Remove from the oven and stir in 90g of the chestnuts, thyme, sage and 2 tsp of garlic. Roast for a further 5 mins then set aside to cool. Once cooled add both the vegetable mixes together and keep to one side.

    Step 4

    Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, tip in the kale and cook for 1 min until wilted. Drain and then run under cold water until cool. Squeeze all the water from the kale, then put it in a food processor along with 2 tsp of garlic puree, 90g of the chestnuts, the lemon juice, 4 tbsp olive oil and some seasoning. Blitz to a thick pesto and check seasoning (add more lemon juice if required).

    Step 5

    Meanwhile, roll out one third of the pastry block on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle, roughly 16cm x 25 cm. Put on a baking sheet lined with non-stick baking paper, then lightly score a 2cm border around the edge. Score the pastry in a criss-cross pattern within the border, chill for 30 mins then bake for 12-15 mins until golden and puffed.

    Step 6

    Roll out the remaining pastry on a lightly floured surface to a 24cm by 35cm rectangle (this is the top). Spoon the kale pesto onto the centre of the baked pastry base followed by the vegetable filling and shape into a thick cylinder within the 2cm border. Brush the edges of the pastry base with a little oil, then drape the uncooked pastry rectangle over the top of the filling, tucking in the edges underneath. Brush with oil then chill for 30 mins.

    Step 7

    Brush a little oil over the pastry. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes and ground pepper (You could also add poppy seeds here if you wish). Bake for 30-40 mins until golden and puffed and the filling is hot.
