This is an Italian comfort food classic! The smell of this cooking in my kitchen transports me back to playing on the street in front of my Papa and Gigi’s house in Brooklyn. I make 2 trays of this for every family get-together, and it’s gone in a flash!”
Ingredients
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 pounds Italian sausage links, cut into 2-inch pieces
1/4 cup olive oil
4 large potatoes, peeled and thickly sliced
2 large green bell peppers, seeded and cut into wedges
2 large red bell peppers, seeded and cut into wedges
3 large onions, cut into wedges
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the sausage until browned. Transfer the cooked sausage to a large baking dish. Pour 1/4 cup of olive oil into the skillet, and cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 10 minutes. Place the potatoes into the baking dish, leaving some oil. Cook and stir the green and red peppers and onions in the hot skillet until they are beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the vegetables to the baking dish. Pour wine and chicken stock over the vegetables and sausage, and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Gently stir the sausage, potatoes, and vegetables together.

Muboora (pumpkin leaves) has got to be my all time favourite leafy green vegetable. I love love love it! I enjoy this version with tomatoes and onions as well as the dovi version (when it’s in peanut butter sauce), and in fresh cream or white sauce, totally delish! It’s however important to give muboora a thorough wash before cooking it as it usually has quite a bit of mud/ soil on it’s leaves. Eating it after it wasn’t washed properly will probably make you despise it! So again I emphasize, give it a real good wash.

Pastry making can be very boring, maybe its better to buy ready made, i prefer making my own though:
*250g plain flour
*250g unsalted butter
*5ml salt
*3/4cup icy water
METHOD
1.Sift flour and salt into a bowl, with a round bladed knife, cut up large chunks of butter into the flour, use your hand to bring the flour to a ball adding drops of ice cold water until u have a neat dough, do not over work the dough, chill in the fridge for 20 mins, take out onto a lightly floured board and shape dough into a rectangle, roll it out until 3 times its size, make 3 divisions on the rolled out dough, bring upper third to centre and the lower part over the 2 parts.
* place in a cling wrap and chill for 20mins or until ready for use.
*roll pastry out and cut into circles of desired size, place your meat in the pastry and fold into shapes you desire, moisten the edges so that the pastry can stick together firmly.
*brush with beaten egg, place on a greased oven proof dish and bake at 180d c for 30 mins or until pies look golden.
PIE FILLING: I USED MUTTON AND CARROT.
*cut up meat neatly into about 1cm cubes, fry onion add meat and cook high heat for 10mins, add carrots cut up abt same size with the meat and cook on low heat until soft, abt 45mins.
N.B the meat should be vry cool when folded into the pastry to avoid melting the pastry.
