How to Make Cheese and chorizo twists
Preparation time:
less than 30 mins
Cooking time:
10 to 30 mins
Serves:
Makes 15 twists
Ingredients
- 375g/13oz ready-rolled puff pastry
- 100g/3½oz manchego
- 12 chorizo
- 1 tsp dried red chilli
- 1 free-range egg
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7.
-
Unroll the pastry onto a baking tray with the longest edge of the pastry facing you.
-
Scatter the manchego over the right-hand half of the pastry. Top the cheese with 10–12 slices of chorizo and sprinkle with chilli flakes. Fold over the remaining pastry and flatten with your hands.
-
Turn the pastry 45 degrees so it sits in the middle of the baking paper. Lightly roll with a rolling pin to seal.
-
Cut the pastry into 1cm/½in pieces and twist 4–5 times. Brush the twists with the beaten egg and bake in the oven for 15–20 minutes, or until risen and golden.
-
Remove from the oven and set aside to cool on a wire rack.
