Cherry Tomato and Tapenade Puffs Recipe

Course Appetizer

Ingredients
  

  • Asda ready-rolled puff pastry
  • 3 tbsp Asda kalamata olive and sundried tomato tapenade
  • 1 1 ⁄2 tbsp Asda grated Parmesan cheese
  • Grated zest of 1⁄2 lemon
  • 9 Asda growers selection vine-ripened cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp Asda extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • finely chopped fresh chives.

Instructions
 

  • Remove the pastry from the refrigerator about 15 minutes before you want to use it.
  • Set the oven to 200C or 180C Fan oven or Gas Mark 6.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment baking paper.
  • Unroll the pastry and cut into approximately 4cm x 4cm squares. You will get about 6 from the width of the pastry. The leftover pastry can be frozen for another occasion.
  • Put the pastry squares on the baking sheet and prick each one well with a fork – particularly in the centre.
  • Put the tapenade, cheese and lemon zest in a bowl and mix well.
  • Divide the tapenade between the squares by putting a small amount in the centre and spreading flat.
  • Leave a border of pastry clear on the squares.
  • Cut the tomatoes in half and place one half on top of each square pressing down lightly.
  • Drizzle over a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Take care with the salt as the tapenade is salty.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 – 15 minutes or until the pastry has risen and is cooked and the tomato has softened a little.
  • Put on a plate to serve and sprinkle over the chopped chives.
  • Serve warm or cold.
