Tempeh Cornish Pastie Recipe

Cornish pasties are one of my favourite comfort foods, but it’s hard to find a good one these days. Making your own, although more effort, gives you control over the ingredients and flavours. This recipe outlines a good, traditional base to start with, but feel free to change the filling as you see fit.

  • Scant ½ tsp instant dried yeast
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 75–80mL tepid water
  • ¼ tsp sea salt

  • Filling
  • 100g marinated tempeh, chopped into 1cm cubes
  • 1 carrot, chopped
  • 2 small potatoes, chopped into 1cm cubes
  • 1 small onion, peeled & diced
  • 2–3 tbsp tomato puree or leftover pasta sauce

Method


  • Place flour and yeast in bowl and mix together.
  • Add oil, stir to combine then add water and salt, mixing until mixture comes together.
  • Transfer to lightly floured surface and knead for approx. 10 mins until smooth and elastic. You could also use electric mixer with dough hook if you have one.
  • Transfer to large, clean bowl, cover with damp cloth and place in warm spot for about 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  • Meanwhile, combine filling ingredients in another bowl.
  • Preheat oven to 180°C.
  • Transfer dough to lightly floured surface and split into 4–6 small, rough balls.
  • Roll out first ball to 1-2mm thickness and spoon some of filling onto half of pastry, leaving some space around edge for sealing.
  • Fold pastry over filling and pinch sides together around edge, making sure to create a good seal.
  • Transfer to lined baking tray and make 1–2 small slits with sharp knife in pastry to allow steam to escape.
  • Repeat with remaining pastry and filling (you may need 2 trays), then place in oven and bake for 30–40 mins, or until pastry is golden.
