Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/gas 6).
- In a mixing bowl, toss 450g of butternut squash and 2 unpeeled garlic cloves with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, seasoning with salt and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for about 30 minutes.
- While the squash cools, heat a skillet and sauté 1 finely chopped onion for approximately 8-10 minutes until tender.
- In a food processor, combine 250g of plain flour, 0.5 teaspoon of ground turmeric, and a pinch of salt. Add 125g of cold butter cut into cubes and pulse until crumbly.
- Incorporate 2 egg yolks and enough cold water until the dough comes together, then chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
- Mash the cooled roasted squash and garlic together, then stir in sautéed onions, optional chilli flakes, and 200g of crumbled feta cheese.
- Butter a muffin tin and line with parchment paper. Roll out the chilled pastry and cut circles to fit the muffin cups.
- Roll out remaining pastry to cut 6 smaller lids (8cm diameter) with carved spooky faces, sealing the edges with fingers.
- Bake the Mini Pumpkin & Feta Pies for about 40 minutes or until golden and flaky.

Notes
Ensure to keep the butter cold for a flaky pastry. Customize the filling with additional vegetables for extra flavor.
