Recipe Blueprint: Olive Palmiers

The perfect little snack to go with an aperitif.  I like to make these ahead and put the whole roll in the freezer so I can let it slightly defrost before I cut them up and put them in the oven.  Here's how it's done.


Ingredients:

1 package puff pastry
1/2 cup of chopped black olives or olive tapenade
2 tsp sundried tomato paste
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

Preheat the oven to 350°F/170°C.

1.  Roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
2.  Cut the dough in half lengthwise.
3.  Spread the mixture of of olive, sundried tomato and parmesan on each half.
4 & 5.  Fold both sides into towards the middle.
6.  Fold the two folded sides together and roll it a bit so it resembles a  rounded tube. Chill or freeze the roll so it becomes firm.
7.  Cut 1 cm slices off the roll.
8.  Place the slices, well separated on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 mins.
