Ingredients
- 1 block puff pastry
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 bramley apple, peeled and cubed
- 4 tbsp caramelised onion relish
- 1 bag Clonakilty Blackpudding bites
- 2 sprigs thyme
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200C.
- Cook the peeled cubed apple in a splash of water or brandy in a pan till it becomes a soft frothy mash. Use a stick blender or potato masher to smoothen it further. Set aside.
- Cut the pastry into squares, use a small circular cutter to make a smaller shape inside the square but don't press it all the way down.
- Brush with egg wash and place on a lined tray. Bake for 12-15 mins till lightly golden.
- The black pudding bites can be cooked on another tray alongside the pastries.
- Leave the vol au vents to cool slightly then press down the inner circle. Dollop on a little onion relish.
