Since it's been really hot here the past few days, I thought I would make Dad'n something different to take for lunches, as sandwiches don't hold up the best in this weather. At the time, I had juch finished talking with a friend about easy meal idea's... so this one was on the top of my head when I walked into the kitchen!
I made my pastry and filling in the thermomix but as per most of my recipes you can take the ingredients and methods and just do them the way you normally would.

**** If I was making this to eat straight away or had more time, I would have blind baked the pastry for 10 minutes by covering it with baking paper and putting some rice in the bottom but 9 out of 10 times I dont have the time so pour the filling straight on to the raw pastry)****
