Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 170C/gas 5. For the pastry, sift the flour and a pinch of salt into a large bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingers to form breadcrumbs. Stir in 4-5 tsp cold water to make a soft dough. Wrap in clingfilm and chill.
  2. Put the onion, garlic, pumpkin and sage in a large roasting tin. Season. Mix in 2 tbsp olive oil. Spread out in a single layer then roast for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Sit the roasting tin on the hob over a medium heat and pour in the wine. Simmer until reduced by half, then stir in the mascarpone until melted. Stir in the vegetable stock and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat.
  4. Roll out the pastry and cut 2 discs slightly larger than the tops of 2 individual pie dishes. Divide the filling between the dishes and brush the rims with egg. Lay the pastry over the filling and crimp the edges. Brush the pastry with beaten egg and bake for 20-25 mins.

To save time

Use bought shortcrust for the pies. All-butter versions have a better flavour.

    Lovely recipe - perfect for a crisp Halloween night. Upped the ingredients slightly to make a single pie and served onto plates with crusty bread - worked just as well!

    Delicious, but found the pastry a bit difficult to make.

    It was a lovely dish. However, next time I would use more 'solid' filling as it was like a chunky soup now.

    Very very tasty. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and didn't use the specified pasty method but rather one for "quick flaky pastry" which was perfect -- you freeze the butter then grate it into the flour; mixing in with a stainless steel spoon or palette knife to keep it cold, add ice cold water at the end to bind; finishing off using your hands. I will be making this again.
