Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces puff pastry sheets
- 200 grams plant-based chicken strips
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 1 medium carrot
- 100 grams frozen peas
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 100 milliliters vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 egg yolk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
Finely chop the onion and garlic. Peel and dice the carrot.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the diced carrot and cook for another 5 minutes until the carrot softens.
Stir in the plant-based chicken strips and cook for 5 minutes until browned.
Add the peas, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Mix the cornstarch with the vegetable broth to create a slurry. Pour this into the skillet, stirring to combine.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into four equal squares.
Place a heaping tablespoon of the vegetable and plant-based chicken mixture onto one half of each pastry square.
Fold the pastry over the filling to create a triangle, pressing the edges with a fork to seal. Ensure the pastry is well-sealed to prevent filling from leaking out during baking.
Whisk together the egg yolk and milk to make an egg wash.
Place the pastries onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush the top of each pastry with the egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the pastries are golden brown and puffed.
Serve the pastries warm as an appetizer or a light main course.
