Method
- Toss the butternut squash chunks with the onion wedges, 2 tbsp olive oil and the cumin seeds. Roast until tender, then mix with the cooked rice, diced feta, chopped coriander and a beaten egg.
- Roll out the pack of puff pastry into 2 pieces. Arrange the filling in a fat sausage on one piece. Brush edges with beaten egg then drape the second piece over the top to make a parcel. Trim and crimp the edges. Score the top and brush all over with egg. Cook in a 200C/ fan 180C/gas 6 oven until crisp and golden.

Delicious but the recipe is so badly written! Please BBC re-write it!!! I've no idea what weight the rice should be when uncooked, there is no oven temperature or timings for roasting the veg and no cooking time for the last stage. Also, no guidelines on how thick to roll the pastry out. I'd put the pastry on greaseproof paper before adding the filling next time.
This took longer to prepare than recipe suggests! I roasted my veg for about 25mins gas 6. I used 2 tsp cumin seeds and I put in chopped basil as I hate coriander. It was very tasty but I would say served 4-5 decent sized portions rather than the 6 it suggests. I baked the wellington for 30 mins. Next time I will try with goats cheese!
