Ingredients

  • 1 package Pepperidge Farms Puff Pastry Sheets or your favorite phyllo dough
  • 1 Tbsp. oil
  • 1/2 yellow onion finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 large sweet potato finely diced
  • 1 cup lentils
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp. ground corriander
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. pepper
  • 1 cup peas

Instructions

  • Perheat your oven to 400°F.
  • Thaw puff pastry according to directions on box.
  • Heat oil over low-medium heat in a deep skillet or Dutch oven. Add onions.
  • Cook until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
  • Add sweet potatoes, lentils, vegetable broth and spices. Bring just to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook until lentils soften, about 15 minutes. Stir in peas and cook for another 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut dough along perforations so that you have long strips. Then cut them into squares and brush the edges with water or more olive oil.
  • Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each square and fold the edges over it to make a triangle. Seal the edges tight with a fork.
  • Place on baking sheet and bake for 18–20 minutes, until dough is cooked through and golden.
