Potato
Calzone
These
are like Cornish pasties. They are excellent for taking on picnics, putting in packed
lunches, having as snacks etc. Also they are a great way
of using up leftovers, as its one of those recipes which
can contain anything you like.
For
the dough-You need (for 1 large or 2 small)
100g flour
2 tbsp olive oil
water
pinch of salt
For
the filling-You need:
Anything you like really, your favorite veg, yesterdays
dinner, cheese and cold meat, the choices are endless.
One I particularly like is:
left over mashed potato
chopped ham or bacon (smoked)
50g parmesan grated
a few spring onions chopped
salt and pepper
1 egg beaten
Mix
the flour and oil in a bowl. Gradually stir in the water
until you form a non sticky dough. Turn out onto a
floured surface, and roll out to around 1cm thick.
Cut into circles about 15cms in diameter (a bit bigger
or smaller depending on how big you want the finished
product).
Mix all the filling ingredients (apart from the egg) in
a bowl. Slap a tablespoon of the mixture into the centre
of each of your dough circles, brush a little water
around the edge of the dough to help seal it, then fold
over, encasing the filling. Push the edges together with
the end of a fork, which seals it and leaves a pretty
cool pattern, brush with the beaten egg and bake in a
hot oven, 220°c or there abouts, for 12 mins or until
golden. Easy.
