• Cook uncovered (adding water occasionally as required) until cauliflower is almost tender (but again not mushy).Sprinkle the dried thyme in.Add salt to taste.
• Lastly stir in the peppers and mix well. Remove immediately from the heat.The heat from the sauce will cook the peppers slightly. Allow to cool completely before filling in.

• Sprinkle with some dried thyme. Fold in 3 lengthwise and again in 3 across the width to make a square. Roll out again into a square approximately 15 x 15 cm (6 x 6 inches).
• Bake for 30 -40 minutes until pastry is a nice golden colour. Remove and let cool slightly before serving.
