Ingredients

175g Wholemeal Sliced Bread, made into crumbs

1½ tsp Mixed Dried Herbs

30g Pumpkin Seeds

75g Unsalted Butter, (or hard margarine)

700g Butternut Squash, peeled and cut into 2cm cubes

1 Very Small Onion, peeled and finely chopped (about 50g prepared weight)

160g Cooked and Peeled Chestnuts, chopped

2 Bay Leaves

120ml Vegetarian Red Wine

200g Cranberry Sauce

Method

1. Preheat oven to 200C / 400F / Gas mark 6. Grease 4 x Yorkshire pudding tins with margarine or butter. Line a baking tin with foil.

2. To make the crust: Put breadcrumbs, mixed dried herbs and the pumpkin seeds into a large bowl. Melt 50g butter (*or hard margarine) and pour onto the breadcrumb mixture. Mix well, then divide equally between the four prepared Yorkshire pudding tins. Using the back of a spoon and your fingers, press evenly into the tins to form shallow cups. Pinch the edges between your fingers and thumb to make them firm – the edges should not be crumbly. Put in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes until crisp. Cool in the tins for about 5 minutes, then remove carefully and put on a cooling rack until ready to serve.

3. To make the filling: Melt the remaining 25g butter (or hard margarine) in a small saucepan. Put the prepared butternut squash in a bowl and toss it with half the melted butter and 2 tbs water. Put the butternut squash into the foil-lined baking tin and bake in the oven for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft. It should remain moist – if it seems to be drying out, add a very little more water.

4. Meanwhile, make the chestnut paté: sauté the onion in the remaining butter for about five minutes until soft. Add the chestnuts, bay leaf and 4 tbs of the red wine, together with 4 tbs water. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and mash the chestnuts to a moist spreading paté. If it is too dry, add a little more water.

5. Put the cranberry sauce in a small saucepan with the remaining red wine. Bring gently to the boil, stirring, then simmer for about 5 – 10 minutes until the sauce has reduced a little but is still runny. To serve: divide the warm chestnut paté between the croustades, pile the butternut squash on top. Drizzle a little of the cranberry jus around the plate, then serve the rest separately.

Ingredients

14g dry yeast

1 tsp salt

600g plain flour

2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for brushing and 90ml for the filling

1 kg pumpkin, peeled, deseeded, and cut into chunks

4 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed

4 fresh sage leaves, finely sliced

500g ricotta cheese

2 tbsp Spanish onion, finely chopped

2 sprigs fresh dill, finely chopped

2 handfuls wild rocket leaves

1 pinch salt

1 pinch black pepper

Method

1. To make the piadine, combine 500ml (16fl oz) of water with the yeast and salt in a small bowl, and stir until dissolved. Put the flour in a large bowl, make a well in the centre, and add the yeast mixture and oil. Mix with your hands until well combined. Knead the dough on a floured work surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Form into a ball, place in a clean oiled bowl, and cover with a tea towel. Leave in a warm place to double in size; it should take about 1 hour.

2. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas 6). Put the pumpkin on a baking tray, and toss with the olive oil, garlic, and sage. Season with salt and black pepper, and roast in the oven for about 40 minutes until tender and golden. Set aside to cool slightly. In a bowl, combine the ricotta, onion, and dill, and season with a little salt and black pepper. Set aside.

3. Heat the barbecue or charcoal grill until hot. Remove the dough from the bowl, shape into a thick sausage on a floured work surface, and cut into 8 portions. Form the dough into oval shapes, then flatten with the palm of your hand. Roll up and down into long oval shapes about 5mm ( 1 / 4 in) thick. Brush both sides of the piadine with a little olive oil, and grill over a high heat for 1–2 minutes on each side until cooked. They cook quickly, so keep an eye on them.

4. As the piadine come off the grill, spread a little of the ricotta mixture evenly over the top of each one. Put some roasted pumpkin and rocket on one half of each piadina, fold the other half over the top, and serve immediately.

4. Brush the top edges of the pie cases with milk, then spoon in the filling.

5. Roll the remaining pastry trimmings out thinly on a lightly floured surface. Use a sharp knife to cut tiny leaves and mark on veins. Brush these with milk, arrange them over each pie and sprinkle with a little sugar.

6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the leaves are golden and the filling is just set. Leave to cool in the tins for 10 minutes, then loosen with a round-bladed knife and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or cold, sprinkled with a little extra sugar.
