Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces puff pastry sheets
- 200 grams canned sardines in oil
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Finely chop the onion, garlic, and parsley. Drain the sardines, reserving the oil, and mash them with a fork in a bowl.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the mashed sardines, tomato paste, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well and cook for about 5 minutes until everything is well combined. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
Place a generous tablespoon of the sardine mixture in the center of each square.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with a tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the edges of the pastry squares with the egg wash.
Fold each square over into a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal. Crimp the edges with a fork to ensure they are well sealed.
Transfer the puffs to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with more egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let the sardine puffs cool slightly before serving.
