Method

  1. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan and fry the onion for 5 mins until softened. Add the lentils and tomato paste, and cook for 2 mins. Add the stock and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 15 mins, until most of the stock is absorbed and the lentils have softened.
  2. Meanwhile, heat a non-stick frying pan. Fry the sausage meat over a moderate heat for 5 mins, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until golden and cooked through. Add the peas and lentils, season, then set aside to cool. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each pastry to the thickness of a £1 coin and cut 10 saucer-size discs out of each, re-rolling trimmings. Pile 3 heaped tsp of meat mixture in the middle of each disc. Brush edges with beaten egg and fold over to form a seal. Pinch edges together, then brush with more egg. Chill on a lightly floured baking sheet for 15 mins. Can be made to here up to 2 days ahead or frozen for up to a month. Bake for 15-20 mins until golden.

    Forgot to put the peas in and these were still very tasty. Although using a saucer size you get 10 not 20, I guess whoever wrote this has tiny saucers!

    I usually make this with a 500g pack of sausagemeat, instead of sausages, I add a tin of kidney beans as well, and make one big pie, instead of little pasties. A firm family favourite

    I made these to take to a bonfire party, made half with sausage meat & half with veggie sozmix, I added a pinch of chilli flakes to the lentil mixture. I also made my own pastry and put some chopped sage in it, they must've gone down well as 3 people want the recipie and meat eaters ate the veggie ones and couldn't tell the difference.

    I made these for lunch one day for my husband and 3 year old son and they went down a treat. Used sausages from our local butcher which are always good.
