Ingredients:
550 g Butternut squash
400 g Kohlrabi
50 g Pecan nuts
5 tbsp Olive oil
1 tsp chilli flakes
1 tbsp Rosemary (chopped)
30 g Panko breadcrumbs
1 ready rolled puff pastry / Vegan puff pastry

Recipe:
- Preheat the oven to 200 C/180 fan/gas mark 6. Cut the butternut squash and kohlrabi into 3-4 cm chunks.
- Add the butternut squash and kohlrabi into a baking dish, along with the olive oil, chilli flakes, rosemary, salt and pepper.
- Toss well to coat and bake for 30-35 minutes, until tender and lightly caramelised on the edges.
- Add to a food processor along with the panko breadcrumbs, pecans and blend until you have a chunky puree. Season to taste with salt and pepper and add the mixture to a piping bag, set aside to cool.
- Beat the egg. Roll out the puff pastry, then pipe out 3 lines of the butternut squash and kohlrabi mixture. You could also just spoon the mixture onto the pastry.
- Fold over lengthways and press together with a fork to seal.
- Cut into 3-4 cm pieces and place on baking sheets lined with baking paper.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg (or milk), sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake for 35 minutes, or until puffed up and golden.
- Serve warm or cold. Enjoy!
