Vegetarian Pasties tuck a hearty lentil, potato, and onion filling into flaky, buttery pastry for a satisfying hand-held meal.

Stir in the egg, vinegar, and 1/2 cup water.

Shape the dough into a large ball.

Make the filling: Bring a pot with 3 cups water to a boil, add the lentils, and continue boiling for 30 to 45 minutes, until the lentils are tender.

Watch the lentils and add water if necessary.

Wrap the potatoes in aluminum foil and bake them in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

When the potatoes have cooled, cut them into small pieces and mix them with the lentils.

In a frying pan, sauté the onions with oil.

Stir the onions into the potato-lentil mixture; season with salt and stir.

Divide the dough into 6 - 8-inch circles and lay them on a flat, floured surface.

Place one cup of filling in the center of each circle.

Fold the dough over the filling, seal the edges, and arrange the pasties on an ungreased cookie sheet.
