Baked Runner Bean Samosa

These kitchen garden samosa are filled with vegetables straight from the plot.
Scarlet Emperor runner beans, Record main crop potatoes, onion and curry herb helichrysum italicum.



The curry herb plant is new this year, I picked it up at the Malvern show, it's really fragrant and adds a curry flavour to any dish. I especially like it with potatoes.
