Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 18 pinwheels

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (8-ounce) jar oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon good quality balsamic vinegar
Finely ground sea salt, preferably gray salt
Finely ground black pepper
1 (17.3-ounce) box puff pastry (recommended: Pepperidge Farm)
1/3 cup pesto, store bought
1 egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Drain the sun-dried tomatoes in a sieve over a small skillet, letting the oil collect in the skillet. Roughly chop the tomatoes and reserve them in a small bowl. Heat the oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until golden brown, about 30 seconds, stirring occasionally. Add the thyme and let it crackle in the oil for about 10 seconds. Add the balsamic vinegar and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Pour the warm oil over the reserved tomatoes. Stir to combine the ingredients well.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Place 1 sheet of puff pasty on each baking sheet. Cut each sheet of puff pastry into 9 individual squares, each about 3 by 3 inches. For each square, use a paring knife to cut from each corner toward the center, stopping 1-inch from the center. You will have a 1-inch circle in the center of each square, and all of the corners will be cut in half. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of pesto in the center of each square and spread it into a 1-inch circle. For each square, lift one half of a corner and fold it toward the center of the square, gently pushing the point into the pesto. Continuing around the square, fold 3 more corner halves toward the center of the square, and gently press all 4 tips together to form a pinwheel shape. Draining away most of the oil, place about 1 teaspoon of the tomatoes where the tips meet. Brush the dough with the beaten egg. Bake at 350 degrees F until the dough is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.

SUN-DRIED TOMATO AND ROSEMARY PALMIERS



Sun-Dried Tomato and Rosemary Palmiers image

Super-quick canapes for an easy picnic snack.

Provided by Lorraine Pascale

Time 1h

Yield 25 to 30 palmiers

Number Of Ingredients 5

1lb 2oz/500g homemade or shop-bought puff pastry
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 10oz/280g jar of sun-dried tomatoes, drained and finely chopped
Few sprigs of fresh rosemary, leaves only, finely chopped
1 egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Put the puff pastry on a well-floured counter and bash it with a rolling pin. Usually, we need to be quite delicate with puff pastry, as it needs to puff up a lot, but for palmiers it needs to puff up only a little. Roll the pastry out into a rectangle about 12 by 14in (30 by 35cm) and 1/8in (3mm) thick. Spread the tomatoes over the puff pastry and sprinkle over the rosemary.
  • With the shortest end facing you, take both long edges of the pastry and roll them toward each other to meet in the middle. Brush a little egg down the center to stick the two halves together. Carefully lift onto a large baking sheet, making sure it will fit in your refrigerator first, and put in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to chill and harden.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Remove the roll from the refrigerator and, using a very sharp knife, slice it into 1/2in (1cm) thick pieces. Lay each piece on the baking sheet and brush well with the beaten egg, then bake in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes until puffed up, crisp, and golden.
  • Remove the palmiers from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet. To serve, pile them high on a plate. These are great little canapes for waiting guests.
