Method

Tomato, prawn andamp; pesto turnovers

1.Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Grease and line 2 baking trays with baking paper.

2.Heat oil in a large saucepan over moderate heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic for 5 minutes or until onion is soft. Add tomato and paste. Stir to combine.

3.Bring to the boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until sauce has thickened.

4.Add fish and prawns. Cook for 5 minutes or until fish is almost cooked. Remove from heat. Stir in spinach and pesto. Cool for 10 minutes.

5.Place pastry on prepared trays. Spoon one-sixth of seafood mixture onto each piece of pastry, leaving a 2cm border. Fold pastry over to enclose filling. Press edges with a fork to seal.

6.Brush pastry with egg. Bake for 20 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Serve at once with rocket.

Sauce must be fairly thick or turnovers will become soggy on standing. Replace fish with chopped chicken breast fillet, if liked.
