Method

  • 1.
    For pastry, place all ingredients in a food processor and whiz until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add 1/4 cup (60ml) iced water and pulse until just combined. Bring together with your hands, enclose in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  • 2.
    Meanwhile, to make the filling, heat oil in a large frypan over medium-high heat. Add carrot, onion, garlic and bay leaves, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes or until carrot has softened.
  • 3.
    Increase heat to high. Add stock, chicken and arrowroot. Bring to the boil and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until thickened slightly. Stir in kale. Transfer to a tray and chill for 20 minutes or until cool. Discard bay leaves.
  • 4.
    Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease 2 large baking trays and line with baking paper.
  • 5.
    Roll out pastry between 2 sheets of baking paper to 3mm thick. Cut into twenty 8cm x 11cm rectangles, re-rolling pastry as required. Transfer half the pastry pieces to prepared trays. Top with filling, then remaining pastry pieces. Use a fork to press the edges together to seal.
  • 6.
    Bake for 25 minutes or until golden.
  • 7.
    Serve hot or warm, sprinkled with salt flakes, if desired.
