FRESH VEGGIE POCKETS
One summer I worked at a health food store that sold sandwiches. We were close to a college campus, so I made lots of these fresh-filled pitas for the students. Crunchy with crisp vegetables and nutty sunflower kernels, they're a fast-to-fix lunch when you're on the go. -Linda Reeves, Cloverdale, Indiana

Yield 10 to 15 pies or 8 to 10 toaster pastries
Number Of Ingredients 18
Steps:
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Pulse for a few seconds and then pour into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the shortening and knead it into the flour with your hands until it is crumbly. Add the milk all at once and mix in with a spatula until it begins to come together. Lightly flour your hands and the countertop and turn the dough out onto the countertop. Knead the dough ball, folding over 10 to 20 times. Using a rolling pin roll the dough to 1/3 to 1/2-inch thickness, then cut into rounds using a 2 1/4-inch ring. Roll each round as thinly as possible or to 5 to 6 inches in diameter. Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of filling onto the dough, brush the edges of half of the dough lightly with the egg wash, fold over and seal the edges together with the tines of a fork, dipping it into flour as needed. Gently press down to flatten and evenly distribute the filling and snip or cut 3 slits in the top of the pie. Dock pies that are going to be deep-fried, instead of snipping or cutting slits.
- To pan-fry pies, place a medium saute pan over medium low heat along with 1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable, canola oil or butter. Once heated, place 2 to 3 pies at a time into pan and saute until golden on both sides, approximately 3 to 4 minutes per side. Allow to cool 4 to 5 minutes before serving.
- To deep-fry pies, heat vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or a large heavy pot to 375 degrees F. Once hot, add 1 to 2 pies at a time and fry until golden brown, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
- To bake pies, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place finished pies onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
- To make toaster pastries:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Divide dough in half and roll out to less than 1/8-inch thick. Cut into 4 inch by 5 inch rectangles. Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of filling onto center of one piece of dough. Brush the edges with egg wash and top with second piece of dough. Seal edges by pressing together with tine of fork. Gently press down to flatten and evenly distribute the filling and dock the top of the pie. Repeat with second half of dough.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, allow to cool completely and place into zip-top bags until ready to toast. The pies will not be brown until toasted.
- Place all of the ingredients into a small saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a bowl and place in refrigerator to cool completely before using as filling.
- For each pie place 1 to 2 tablespoons onto the center of the dough. Follow directions above.
- Yield: enough for 10 to 15 pies
- Place the sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and butter into a large zip-top bag and squish to combine. Cut a whole in 1 corner of the bag.
- For each pie, pipe 1 to 2 tablespoons of mixture onto the center of the dough. Follow directions above.
- Yield: enough for 10 to 15 pies
BEEF AND VEGIE POCKETS
This family recipe goes back many, many years! We assumed that any time Dad started up the grill, this was on the menu. For the turnips in the original recipe I sub parsnips or sometimes rutabagas. Fond memories with this recipe! (A lasting memory was picking out the turnips or accidentally biting into one thinking it was a potato...) Note: if you want, stew meat can replace the ground beef. You will have to adjust cooking time however if using stew meat. Ground beef was used in the original recipe because it was cheaper and there were five hungry boys to feed. Perfect for camping, outdoor barbecues, beach parties, etc. Simple and easy-nothing fancy or exotic. From what I remember, the pockets were served either with homemade cole slaw of a basic green salad with vegetables from Dad's garden: iceberg, tomatoes, cucumbers. CG Family Heirloom recipe.

Yield 8 beef and veggie pockets
Number Of Ingredients 10
Steps:
- *Note: the beef and vegie pockets can also be baked in the oven. Cook the pockets at 375º for approximately 45 minutes or until vegetables are tender and meat is brown.
- If grilling, you have the option of par-boiling the root vegetables first.
- Heat the the grill until the grill is very hot.
- Combine the ground beef, vegetables and Worcestershire sauce in a large bowl. I placed the vegetables in one bowl and the meat in another. The Worcestershire sauce was added to the meat. Placed a spoonful of vegetables on the foil followed by a spoonful of meat then butter and water.
- Season mixture with salt and pepper.
- Cut out eight 12" x 10" pieces of heavy duty aluminum foil. (Or use double fold of standard aluminum foil.).
- Divide and place the meat and vegetable mixture on the pieces of foil.
- For each foil pocket, add about 1/2 teaspoon butter and 1 tablespoon water.
- Fold in the foil 1/2" on both top and bottom to make a seam.
- Then fold up the foil to encase the meat/vegetable mixture. (It should look like a plump envelope.).
- Cook over the grill turning occasionally for about 20 minutes, or until meat is cooked through and no longer pink and the vegetables pierce easily with a fork.
- Yield is estimated.
