Anchovy and Olive Puff Pastry Slices

Sometimes in Ireland, our produce is not quite as ripe and tender, so a little honey brings out the natural flavours and sweetness.

Ingredients

  • 400g puff pastry sheets
  • 1 egg yolk

  • a dash olive oil

  • 4 large onions, very thinly sliced

  • 1 tsp honey

  • 12 anchovy fillets

  • 12 stoned black olives, halved

Method

  1. Line a large flat baking tray with parchment and preheat your oven to 190°C.

  2. Lay the sheets of puff pastry onto the prepared tray and attached them together so you have one large rectangle. Prick the pastry all over with a fork and then brush with the egg yolk. Bake for five minutes then set aside.

  3. While the pastry is baking warm the olive oil and sauté the onions, over a low heat, with a lid on for about twenty minutes until they are completely soft. Remove the lid and add the honey and some seasoning, continue to sauté for another ten minutes with the lid off until they are mushy and sticky.

  4. Spread the onions over the parbaked pastry. Dot the anchovies and olives on top and bake at 180 degrees for about 35 minutes until the pastry is golden.
