Olives Et Al Chilli Puffs 150 g (Pack of 20)

Product Information

This cheese was thought to be a form of cheddar with added cream. The curd was pressed and hung in a small net which caused grooves to form over the cheese resembling pineapples.

These cute bite-sized puffs are delicious served warm but also taste fabulous cold/room temperature. Puff Pastry– for these puffs you will need puff pastry. I like to use ready-made puff pastry for convenience but you can absolutely make your own at home. If the flesh has a small amount of brown spots left (dark eyes of the pineapple), this is ok as they are edible but can be sharp. Using the knife, cut away the skin in a downward motion, hugging the curvature of the flesh as you go. Repeat this all the way around.Flour a fork, and then press around the edges of the veg patties, to seal. Transfer onto a lined baking tray. Brush the dough with the glaze, and then pop it into a preheated oven, and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Here comes the hardest part of this recipe – allowing the mixture to cool down to room temperature. To speed this up, you can transfer the mixture into another bowl. I sometimes make this curry puff filling the day before, just to make things easier. Baking the vegan curry puff This depends on whether your puff pastry is chilled or frozen. If you have bought ready-roll puff pastry you will not need to roll it out further. Remember that if you roll the pastry you may loose the layers and the pastry will not rise as much. In case you want to thin it out then lightly stretch the pastry with your hands.

To make these “chilli cheese”, I have used a little homemade Schezwan sauce but you can easily replace this with so many other options. The Origins of Pineapple Cheese What I am trying to say is that cheese and pineapple is ultimately British and reminiscent of childhood parties. This recipe is perfect for entertaining whether it is a BBQ, garden party or sit down meal. Air fry at 180 C for 5-7 minutes. You may need to adjust timings based on how your first batch turns out.

Charred Charred cauliflower: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan, add in the cauliflower chunks and cook on high for 10-20 minutes or until charred. Roughly chop up the cauliflower and set aside until needed. For pineapple cubes, cut the pineapple in quarters lengthways (cut it in half and half those halves) Pineapple– you can use either fresh pineapple or tinned pineapple. Make sure if using tinned that the pineapple is well drained otherwise it will make the pastry soggy. Be careful not to serve them piping hot to children especially as the melted cheese will be hot, hot, hot! How to make Cheese and Pineapple Toasties Press down the sides to seal. You can either crimp or press down with your finger or a fork. How to make Pineapple Cheese Puffs in the oven

Filling Making the filling: Heat 2 tbsp oil in the same pan, and add the onions and curry leaves. Cook on medium heat until onions are caramelized. Add in the diced potatoes, curry powder and water. Mix and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked. Mix in the charred cauliflower, sugar and salt. Turn heat to low, and cook for 2-3 more minutes. Allow to cool completely before stuffing into the pastry!! Curry leaves: Fresh or dried will work! I like to keep them whole, but if you prefer, you can thinly chop up the fresh ones, or simply crush the dried ones.Curry powder: Go to your supermarket, and grab the curry powder of your choice. These curry blends come in different spice levels. I went for a mild one, and then if that’s not spicy enough for you, you can add in a touch of chilli powder. Sri Lankan curry powder would work too! If your pastry has come to room temperature, you can place it in the fridge for 20 minutes to chill it. This ensures a flakier puff when cooking as the layers remain separate. If you’d like to serve them with a sauce on the side, then this green coriander and mint chutney is great.
