This time last year I didn’t even have a good <a title="camera" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/camera/">camera</a> for blogging. So my photographs have certainly improved. <br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0W_QqQJyAQw/S0TFX900ZRI/AAAAAAAAEBw/Tb1_LSDjRYw/s1600-h/vegroastpasty2.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 298px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423676866784683282" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0W_QqQJyAQw/S0TFX900ZRI/AAAAAAAAEBw/Tb1_LSDjRYw/s400/vegroastpasty2.jpg" /></a> I still had some of the filling left over from the <a href="http://allotment2kitchen.blogspot.com/2010/01/3-seed-and-root-tart.html">3 Seeds Tartlets</a>, so I decided to use the reliable ready-rolled puff pastry again. This time though I spread the mixture evenly over the pastry layer and then rolled it up like a Swiss roll. Baked in the oven for 25 – 35 minutes until it was golden.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0W_QqQJyAQw/S0TFXrsXXoI/AAAAAAAAEBo/FqKAZaQdtLY/s1600-h/vegroastpasty.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 274px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423676861917388418" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0W_QqQJyAQw/S0TFXrsXXoI/AAAAAAAAEBo/FqKAZaQdtLY/s400/vegroastpasty.jpg" /></a> I guess you can even slice them into individual portions and bake them face up, so that they would puff up almost like savoury <em>palmiers</em>. I served these with gravy, some of our homegrown peas that were in the freezer, as well as these little <a href="http://allotment2kitchen.blogspot.com/2009/01/cooking-with-our-winter-harvest.html">spicy parsnip cakes </a>that I’ve made before. It includes <em>garam masala </em>and some red <a title="chilli" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/chilli/">chilli</a>.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0W_QqQJyAQw/S0TFL2a3TII/AAAAAAAAEBg/132uMcWCMT0/s1600-h/spicycarrotparsnipcake.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 310px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423676658638343298" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0W_QqQJyAQw/S0TFL2a3TII/AAAAAAAAEBg/132uMcWCMT0/s400/spicycarrotparsnipcake.jpg" /></a> I did modify the original spicy parsnip cake recipe a touch. Instead of boiling and mashing the parsnip, I grated them and then baked them individually in a muffin case, rather than a large cake tin. I think that’s why they are a little more ‘golden’, still spicy though. <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1055570102085574482-5564642296511813425?l=allotment2kitchen.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <div style="display: none">VN:F [1.6.3_896]</div><div class="ratingblock"><div class="ratingblock "><div class="ratingheader ">Rate this Article</div><div class="ratingstars "><div id="article_rater_24353" class="ratepost gdsr-soft gdsr-size-24"><div class="starsbar gdsr-size-24"><div class="gdouter gdheight"><div id="gdr_vote_a24353" style="width: 0px;" class="gdinner gdheight"></div><div id="gdr_stars_a24353" class="gdsr_rating_as"><a id="gdsrX24353X5X0XaXarticle_rater_24353Xarticle_loader_24353X10X24" title="5 / 5" class="s5" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX24353X4X0XaXarticle_rater_24353Xarticle_loader_24353X10X24" title="4 / 5" class="s4" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX24353X3X0XaXarticle_rater_24353Xarticle_loader_24353X10X24" title="3 / 5" class="s3" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX24353X2X0XaXarticle_rater_24353Xarticle_loader_24353X10X24" title="2 / 5" class="s2" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX24353X1X0XaXarticle_rater_24353Xarticle_loader_24353X10X24" title="1 / 5" class="s1" rel="nofollow"></a></div></div></div></div><div id="article_loader_24353" style="display: none; width: 120px; " class="ratingloader article"><div class="loader flower " style="height: 24px"><div class="loaderinner" style="padding-top: 2px">please wait...</div></div></div></div><div class="ratingtext "><div id="gdr_text_a24353">Rating: 0.0/<strong>5</strong> (0 votes cast)</div></div></div></div>
