Method
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the courgettes, peppers and onions for 8-10 mins until softened. Whisk the tomato purée, thyme and oregano with 3 tbsp boiling water until smooth. Pour into the pan and cook for 1-2 mins until the sauce coats the vegetables. Stir in the pecorino, remove from the heat, and transfer to a plate. Spread out and leave to cool for 10 mins.
- Heat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Unravel the pastry and cut into 4 rectangles, then place on a baking tray lined with baking paper, making sure to space them apart. Add 2-3 heaped tbsp of the vegetable filling to one side of each rectangle, leaving a 1cm border. You may have more filling than you need, see tip.
- Brush the borders with milk and pull over the other side of the pastry to cover the veg. Use a fork to seal the three sides together. Glaze with a little more milk, then bake for 25 mins until golden and crisp. Serve with the lettuce.
Cook's tip: Any leftover filling can be added to pasta as a simple salad or serve with couscous for a quick lunch.
