Fetta Pumpkin sausage rolls. They weren’t shifting out of my head until I made them. A few pumpkins came and went, fetta went into other dishes, and then finally the planets had aligned and voila… there was fetta and pumpkin in the fridge at the same time.
Time to get roasting.
There aren’t too many ingredients in here, so the key to getting it to taste great, is using great ingredients. A very sweet, seasonal pumpkin, some tasty Greek fetta, local whole garlic cloves and pastry.
It’s not often you’ll find packaged pastry in my recipes. I hadn’t had any in my freezer for a really long time. So long in fact that, the pastry and I just sort sat there, eyeing each other off for awhile. In the end though, pastry won. I wasn’t about to expand my culinary skills on making puff pastry just yet, (give me another 15 years perhaps) and a shorter crust pastry just wasn’t going to cut it for this one. So I slit the plastic, and funnily enough the world didn’t end.

Sometimes using a storebought ingredients just ensures that the food gets made- and surely that justifies it.

Oh, dear, I hadn’t thought we need to apologize for using a packaged pastry dough?? (Since I’m using one in tomorrow’s blog.) Well… I’m all about convenience sometimes, there will come a day when my kids have moved out and I’m no longer working that I hope to learn how to make puff pastry. It would be great to know how. I love your combination of flavors here.. they look so pretty!

Definitely no need to apologise, just me and my own pastry ‘issues’. Since I got over it, the packaged stuff has sat quite comfortably on the shelf, sitting between convenience and sanity š

I bet these smelt amazing when they were cooking in the oven. Pumpkin and fetta are a great combination. I always have frozen pastry in my freezer. It’s not my preferred choice but always handy in a crisis!

Brydie darling, I love that when the rest of us have newborns, we buy takeaway meals and disposable nappies and whine about how little sleep we get. You on the other hand buy the odd packet of puff pastry to wrap your delicious homemade fillings in. You really are something else, girlfriend. š xx

Jane I had a few problems myself trying to leave a comment the other day. Then I realised what I was doing wrong. When you have to read, and then key in, the two handwritten words (to prove you are not a robot) I was typing them in as two words. When I joined the two words together as one, it worked.
