Today I would like to share with you the recipe for small pies. I wanted to make the stuffing without meat, so I chose chickpeas. They are a rich source of protein, they reduce blood pressure and cholesterol level. They also have a low glycaemic level and the fibre steadies the sugar level in the blood. You should remember its assets and add it to your daily diet.

Serve the pies with your favourite dip and vegetables. They taste the best hot, but we discovered that they are great cold and you may also reheat them.

Ingredients (12 pieces)
1 pack of chilled French pastry
200g of chickpeas
half a red pepper
2 cloves of garlic
half an onion
4 dried tomatoes from olive oil
3 tablespoons of olive oil from the tomatoes
6-8 black olives
1 tablespoon of butter
2 tablespoons of milk

Heat the oven up to 185C. Cover a baking sheet with some baking paper.
Dice the onion, garlic and olives and fry them in butter. Don't let them go brown. Drain the dried tomatoes and dice them. Mash the chickpeas with a fork. Add the vegetables from the pan, the tomatoes, the olive oil from the tomatoes and mix them in. Cut 7 cm circles from the French pastry. Put a teaspoon of the filling on each circle and stick them together. Don't press too hard, in order to allow the French pastry to open. Smooth the pies with the milk. Bake for 25-30 minutes.

Enjoy your meal!
