Mediterranean Vegetable and Feta Puffs
A lovely combination of peppers, tomatoes, onions and courgettes teamed with low fat Feta cheese wrapped in delicious light puff pastry, very tasty as a lunch or supper dish.
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
1 pack Jus Rol TM ready rolled light puff pastry
beaten egg to glaze
½ - 1 tbsp light olive oil
½ red onion - diced
1 clove garlic - halved
1 small courgette – halved lengthways and sliced
1 red pepper - diced
3 cherry tomatoes - halved and quartered
Salt and pepper to season.
100g light Feta cheese
Few poppy seeds for sprinkling - optional
Method:
Follow pastry preparation instructions.
Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C for fan assisted ovens) Gas M7.
Firstly prepare vegetables: Rub the cut garlic clove halves on the inside of a frying pan, heat the oil and gently sauté the onion for 5, then add the other vegetables (except the tomatoes) and sauté until just tender - approx. a further 5 - 7 minutes, allow to cool.
Unroll the pastry sheet and cut into 4 equal rectangles. Crumble the feta cheese into the cooled vegetables, add the tomatoes and season to taste.
Place a quarter of the mixture on one half of one pastry piece, putting it just off centre of the length and leaving a border around filling of approx. 1 cm.
Brush pastry edges lightly with beaten egg and fold uncovered pastry over the filling, press around the edges firmly to seal. Trim the sealed sides with a sharp knife, make a slit on the top and knock up edges to seal, then brush with beaten egg to glaze and sprinkle lightly with poppy seeds. Repeat with remaining pastry and filling.
Bake for approx.15 minutes until pastry risen and golden, serve hot.
