Pâté de légumes

Pâté de légumes is a delightful Moroccan vegetarian snack that combines a medley of spiced vegetables wrapped in flaky pastry. Perfectly baked until golden brown, this dish is both satisfying and bursting with flavor.

Ingredients

• Carrot - 100 grams, grated
• Zucchini - 100 grams, grated
• Potato - 100 grams, boiled and mashed
• Onion - 50 grams, finely chopped
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Puff pastry sheets - 2
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon (for topping)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent.
3. Add the grated carrot and zucchini to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes until they soften.
4. Stir in the mashed potato, chopped parsley, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
5. Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 squares.
6. Place a generous tablespoon of the vegetable mixture in the center of each pastry square.
7. Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to form a triangle or rectangle and press the edges to seal.
8. Place the filled pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with a little olive oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
