Servings: 2Preparation time: 20 minutesCooking time: 40 minutesReady in: 1 hour

Ingredients

Filling

• 1/2 med sweet potato
• 1/2 cup chopped chicken breast or turkey
• 1/4 cup grated carrot
• 1/4 cup grated cheese
• 1/4 cup frozen peas
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tbs calcium

Pastry

• 8 oz whole wheat flour
• 4 oz butter
• 1/4 cup ice water
• A little melted butter or milk for brushing the pastry

Method

1. Heat oven to 375F/190C (170C fan assisted)/gas mark 5.
2. Grate the potato, carrot and cheese. In a bowl, combine the potato, chicken, carrot, peas, cheese, garllic powder and calcium. Mix thoroughly.
3. Rub butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Slowly add the ice water until the dough holds together. Put onto a lightly floured board and divide into four. Roll out the first piece and cut into a heart shape using a cookie cutter. Alternatively, if you have a heart shaped tart tin, press pasty into the tin. Fill with the filling. Roll out a second piece and cover. Crimp the edges together and poke a set of holes in the top.
4. Brush the tops either with melted butter or a little milk. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. If baked in a tart tin, wait 5 minutes and then turn out onto a wire rack. Serve at room temperature.
