Method

  1. 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.
  2. 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 was beautiful, I didn't change a thing except I think I got it wrong with the rice I cooked 250g of dried rice and that was way too much once cooked but I only used a third in the mixture. I will make this again and it went lovely with a Greek salad .......mmm feta :-) x

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!

Very tasty, and nice cold too, was a bit of a faff to make what with roasting the veg, cooking the rice, cooling down and mixing and roliing out pastry etc. but worth it in the end as very yummy! flavours just right. good for picnics!

Quite nice, but filling flavour overwhelmed by the cumin. Should this perhaps be 1 teaspoon rather than 1 tablespoon? Needed salt and pepper.
Don't think I will make it again.

I plan to make this for my vegetarian son's dinner. As Vancancook above, I am not sure of quantity of feta but that's not too important, however no temp. for roasting vegetables which is a bit of a nuisance and means I'll need to check.
Have been delighted with all other recipes I have tried.
