Mediterranean Chorizo Puff Pastry Bake

I always thought that buying pre-made puff pastry was a cheat, that was until I tried it and realised how quick and easy it is! I have made puff pastry a few times and although it’s delicious, it is pretty time consuming and rather technical, so for a mid-week quick and easy meal fix then the pre-made sheets are a lifesaver! All you need to do it get it out the packet, roll it onto a tray and then top with whatever tickles your fancy. You all know how much I love chorizo, cheese and anything tomato based, so the combination of all of these for me is perfection! If you are just making this for one then save the other half and have it cold in your lunchbox.

Serves 2

• 5 shallots – quartered
• 50g spicy chorizo – finely chopped
• 5 sundried tomatoes – finely chopped
• 7 black olives – roughly chopped
• 10” x 6” sheet light puff pastry
• Cream cheese
• 1 tsp capers
• 2 tbsp tomato puree
• Parmesan and rocket to serve

Preheat the oven to 180’C

Roll out your puff pastry onto a lined baking tray

Spread the tomato paste over the base and then scatter over the shallots, chorizo, tomatoes, olives and capers

Take small tea spoons of the cream cheese and dollop evenly over the toppings

Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes

Remove from the oven and scatter over rocket and parmesan before slicing in half and serving.
