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

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Brush with egg wash and place on a lined tray. Bake for 12-15 mins till lightly golden.
  5. The black pudding bites can be cooked on another tray alongside the pastries.
  6. Leave the vol au vents to cool slightly then press down the inner circle. Dollop on a little onion relish.
