vegie and legume pastry parcels

obviously you can make more than the following recipe suggests and freeze the extra parcels for another day. i only made a small amount enough for the one meal because i used defrosted cooked legumes and i didn't want to refreeze these for a later meal. so increase the ingredients as desired.

2 10com squares of pastry (you can find vegan puff pastry in the supermarket but it still will have additives so i am in the process of mastering a home made vegan pastry recipe but not ready to post it yet...)
cup of diced steamed vegies (sweet potato, pumpkin, peas)
2 T chickpea paste or hummus
1/2 cup cooked legumes (i used soy beans and red lentils)

preheat oven to 200deg C. on a baking tray lay down some baking paper then the 2 pastry squares. spread the pastry with chickpea paste leaving at least 1-2cm from the edge. into the centre spoon vegies and legumes, not too much that you can't fold over the pastry to meet the other edges easily (keep leftover vegie and legume filling for spoon feeding). fold pastry over to make a triangle and pinch edges together. bake for 15mins. allow to cool before serving - parcels will be very hot inside.
