Traitors' turnover
HB-8661 · Hand-built original
Two batches of bite-size puff pastry turnovers from single sheets — one filled with gochujang sausage meat, the other with miso and dulce de leche apples — so no one knows which filling they have picked.
Main ingredient: egg
Pairs well with: toast, hash browns, fruit salad, bacon, avocado
Ingredients
- knob butter
- 2 apples, peeled cored and cut into ½ in cubes
- 5½oz dulce de leche
- 1 tsp miso
- 5½oz veggie sausages (half a pack)
- 1–3 tsp gochujang (to taste)
- 1 tsp honey
- ¼ tsp dried chilli flakes (or to taste)
- 2 x 11¼ oz ready-rolled puff pastry sheet
- 1 free-range egg, beaten
- black sesame seeds
Method
- Line two large baking trays with baking paper before you make the fillings.
- Melt the knob of butter in a small pan over medium heat, fry the apple cubes gently for 3 to 4 minutes until slightly softened, then take them off the heat and cool them completely.
- Whisk the dulce de leche with the miso until combined, fold the cooled apples through, and refrigerate the apple filling until it is fully cold.
- Slit the veggie sausages lengthways, peel off their skins, and mix the sausage meat in a bowl with the gochujang, honey and chilli flakes, then chill that filling too.
- Unroll the first pastry sheet on its paper and roll it slightly longer to a 9½x14¼ in rectangle, mark 3¼ in notches along both short sides, and slice it into 3 long strips.
- Brush beaten egg along one long side and both short sides of each strip, place 7 small dollops of the sausage filling down each strip about ¾ in in from the edge and apart, brush egg between the dollops, and notch the edge between each pair of dollops.
- Fold the pastry over the filling, crimp both ends and the long edge with a fork while keeping the cutting notches visible, then cut between the turnovers and crimp the cut edges to give 21 sausage turnovers.
- Chill the sausage turnovers on a lined tray while you repeat the whole strip-and-fold process with the second pastry sheet and the miso apple filling, then chill those for 30 minutes.
- Heat the oven to 400°F, brush all the turnovers with beaten egg, and sprinkle them with black sesame seeds.
- Bake the turnovers for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown all over, cool them on the tray for 5 minutes, then move them to a rack and serve warm or cold.
