Steps:
- Fry the onion and garlic gently with the oil, in a large saucepan, until softened.
- Add the butternut, vinegar to the pan and increase the heat until the vinegar sizzles away.
- Lower the heat, add the stock, tomato puree and sugar then give it a stir. Let the mixture gently bubble at a low heat until the butternut is cooked. Add a splash of water if needed if it gets too dry.
- When the butternut is cooked, add the lentils and spinach and stir until the greens have wilted. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool.
- Preheat the oven 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6.
- Roll out the pastry on a floured surface. Using a saucer, cut out 6 shapes.
- Divide the filling evenly between the rounds, leaving a margin around the edges.
- Brush the pastry all the way round the edge with beaten egg, carefully draw up both sides so that they meet at the top, then pinch them together to seal. Lift onto a non-stick baking tray and brush with the remaining egg to glaze.
- Bake the pasties in the oven for 15 minutes or until golden and crisp.

CORNISH PASTIES
My Great-Aunt Gladys was from a small mining town in England where pasties were popular. I loved to watch her craft each Cornish pasty, as she made them in different sizes depending on who was eating. Serve with a green salad to make a wonderful meal. -Verna Hainer, Pueblo, Colorado

Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables: Use a variety of vegetables that are in season and have a good flavor. Some good choices include potatoes, carrots, peas, broccoli, and cauliflower.
- Cut the vegetables into small pieces: This will help them cook evenly and make it easier to fit them into the pasties.
- Season the vegetables well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: They should be tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
