A super tasty vegetarian recipe for hot potkets/turnovers featuring fall veggies, a special vegetarian sauce and homemade crust. Perfect for autumn or, any time of year! Can also become a veggie pie.
Ingredients
  • Dough for Crust
  • ½ C Butter (1 stick)
  • 2 C Flour
  • ¼ C Iced Water (may need more especially if using whole wheat flour)
  • Veggies
  • Use any combination of these you wish just adjust the amounts as you work out the ingredients ie use the larger amt called for if you omit another ingredient - or if you just like it a lot - I'd say the only essential ingredients are at least a bit of garlic and the onion for flavor.
  • Steam or saute in olive oil as appropriate.
  • 1-2 Carrots
  • 2-3 Potatoes
  • ½-1 C Pumpkin and/or other Squash
  • 2 Ears of Corn w/kernals removed (or frozen corn)
  • ½-1C Broccoli
  • ½-3/4 C Green Beans
  • 2-4 Cloves of Garlic (more if you really like garlic)
  • 1 Large Onion
  • 1 Med Bell Pepper
  • ½ C Peas
  • Sauce
  • 4T Butter
  • ¼C Flour
  • 1 C Milk
  • 2 Egg Yolks
  • ½ C Cheddar Cheese
  • Olive Oil to brush onto the top
Instructions
  1. Make the dough by cutting the butter into the flour until its a crumbly mixture.
  2. Then, add water and mix until you create a dough that doesn't stick to your fingers but forms nicely into a ball.
  3. Now prepare the veggies as appropriate (ie steam carrots, broccoli, pumpkin, etc - boil potatoes - saute onions, garlic, peppers in a bit of olive oil, and just add the corn and the peas)
  4. Once veggies have been prepped add them all into a big bowl. This is where you'll mix them up with the sauce - so give yourself room!
  5. Next its time for the sauce. Melt the butter over med heat, then add the flour. Stir until combined over low heat.
  6. Add Milk and stir over med heat until it boils.
  7. Once the mixture boils let go for 1 min then take off the heat. Add the egg yolks and the cheddar cheese stirring until all combined.
  8. Now, pour over veggies.
  9. Next, get your dough and separate into 4 med - 6 small balls.
  10. Roll out each ball into a flat circle and add a few spoonfuls of the veggie and sauce mixture into the front/center area.
  11. Fold the back of the dough up and over the veggies and press bottom and top together to create a seal.
  12. Repeat with each dough circle.
  13. Then glaze all turnovers with a bit of olive oil - I like to mix mine with a bit of salt too.
  14. Now bake at 350 until dough is golden - about 30 min.
