Puff pastry filled with vegetables

Perfect for a dinner party with friends or to surprise guests, puff pastry filled with vegetables is a dish that’s always a hit. The filling is very juicy, and the combination of vegetables works wonderfully. To prepare it, you will need the following ingredients:

• 1 rectangular sheet of puff pastry
• 150 g courgette
• 150 g aubergine
• 150 g red pepper
• 150 g of green asparagus
• 50 g grated cheese
• a pinch of oregano

Follow these steps:

1. Wash and dry the vegetables thoroughly. Cut off the ends of the aubergines and discard them. Slice the aubergines lengthways into approximately 1 cm thick slices. Then, cut each slice into strips and each strip into cubes.
2. Heat a little extra virgin olive oil in a large frying pan and sauté the aubergine for about 10 minutes over low heat. Add a little water to prevent the aubergine from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
3. While the aubergine is cooking, remove the stem and seeds from the pepper. Cut it into strips about 1 cm wide and then into cubes.
4. Add the pepper to the pan with the aubergine. Stir and sauté for five minutes. You can add a little more oil, but it’s not recommended to avoid making the mixture too greasy.
5. Next, trim the tough, white ends of the asparagus. Cut the asparagus into 1 cm pieces and add them to the pan. Stir-fry for another five minutes.
6. Finally, trim the ends of the courgette and discard them. Repeat the process of slicing it into rounds, then into strips, and finally into cubes. Add the courgette to the pan and sauté for another five minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Remove the vegetables from the heat and allow them to cool completely before filling the puff pastry. To do this, roll out the puff pastry and divide it into three equal parts, marking two parallel lines with the blunt side of a knife.
8. Cut diagonal strips on the right and left sections of the pastry, leaving the centre intact, as this will be where the filling goes.
9. Spread half of the grated cheese in the centre of the pastry and top it with the vegetables. Sprinkle with dried oregano.
10. Close the puff pastry into a braid by alternating the pastry strips from the left side with those from the right, over the filling.
11. Finally, brush the pastry braid with beaten egg and sprinkle the remaining grated cheese on top. Preheat the oven to 200°C with both top and bottom heat, and place the vegetable braid in the oven. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the pastry is golden, then remove. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Puff pastry filled with chocolate

The puff pastry filled with chocolate, which can also be offered in the shape of a flower, is a real treat for the little ones in the house. As if that were not enough, it’s very easy to prepare at home. Our delicious puff pastry filled with chocolate is ready in no time at all.

We will need the following ingredients:

• 2 sheets of puff pastry
• 250 g cocoa cream
• 1 egg

For the preparation, follow these steps:

1. Place one sheet of puff pastry on a piece of baking parchment. Use a rolling pin to roll it out evenly.
2. Spread the cocoa cream over the surface of the pastry, leaving a 2 cm border without filling. If you warm the cocoa cream beforehand, it will be easier to spread on the puff pastry.
3. Cover the first sheet with the second sheet of puff pastry, which you have also rolled out on a piece of baking parchment.
4. Place a glass in the centre of the two sheets to serve as a guide when cutting the portions. Use the tip of a knife to cut the pastry into 16 parts, making the cuts from the base of the glass to the edge of the pastry.
5. Next, twist each ‘petal’ in the same direction. Then, brush the surface of the flower with a beaten egg.
6. Preheat the oven to 200°C and place the pastry, still on the baking parchment, onto the oven rack. Bake at 200°C with both top and bottom heat for 25 minutes, until golden and crisp, then serve your delicious chocolate-filled puff pastry.
