You can serve these as a main with salad and dips or as an entree. Great for a vegan Thanksgiving snack or just to have stocked up in the freezer. 

How To Make Your Own Pumpkin Puree

It’s insanely easy. You can use any type of pumpkin you like. There are 2 methods to make puree – roasting or boiling. Roasting does give a better flavour but I’m lazy so I boil as it’s quicker.

Boiling Method

1. Clean and wash your pumpkin. Cut the skin from the outside of the pumpkin and then chop into one inch pieces and place into a large pot. Fill with water, covering the pumpkins and place onto a high heat. Boil until your pumpkin until it’s soft. I test this with a fork to make sure it pierces all the way through a pumpkin piece without force. It should take around 20 minutes.
2. Remove the pot from the heat and carefully drain your pumpkin into a strainer. I use a fry pan flipper and use it to press down the pumpkin to push out any excess water. Pour into a blender and blend until smooth.

Roasting Method

1. Preheat your oven to 200C / 390F.
2. Clean and wash your pumpkin. Cut the skin from the outside of the pumpkin and chop into one inch pieces and place onto a baking paper lined baking sheet. Bake for 40 to 60 minutes or until your pumpkin is soft.
3. Pour into a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer into an airtight container and keep in the fridge.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven 347F / 175C and line two baking tray with greaseproof paper.
2. Mix together melted butter and peanut butter, add yeast flakes, curry powder, sugar, salt and chilli. Mix into pumpkin and set aside.
3. Roll out one piece of your pastry flat on your bench. Using a pastry brush, very lightly brush with vegetable oil.
4. Fold into thirds, so you have one long rectangle, lightly brush with oil and then fold this in half so you have a smaller rectangle almost square.
5. Gently brush with oil and then place 1.5 tablespoons of pumpkin mixture into the centre.
6. Fold each corner into the centre. You may need to dab a tiny bit of oil between the layers, so it sticks and becomes a neat little parcel.
7. Place into the oven and bake for 15 to 17 minutes until the pastry’s edges are golden brown.
8. Serve straight away with hummus or vegan sour cream and chilli sauce for an extra kick.
