Black Pudding, Leek, Apple and Gorgonzola Parcels
Prep Time15 Minutes
Servings8
Cook Time40 Minutes
Ingredients
350 g Black pudding cut into 1.5 cm-thick slices
2 tbsp Caster sugar
1 - Fresh egg lightly beaten
100 g Gorgonzola
150 g Leek finely sliced (optional)
2 tbsp Olive oil
2 sheets Puff pastry thawed
1 - Supervalu bramley apples peeled and cut into 1cm cubes
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 220°C/gas mark 7. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper.
- To make the leek and apple mix,place a deep-sided pan on a medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the sliced leeks, if using, increase the heat and fry for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cubed apple, decrease the heat to low and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the sugar, cover the pan with a lid and cook for a further 10 minutes, until the apple and leek mixture is very soft. Set the mixture aside or allow to cool before placing in the fridge if you intend to prepare the parcels ahead of time.
- Cut the puff pastry sheets into 10cm squares – they need to be big enough to enclose the filling. Place a slice of black pudding in the centre of each square and top with a little leek and apple mix and 1 teaspoon of Gorgonzola.
- Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg and close up the pastry around the filling, pressing tightly to seal into a parcel. Lightly brush the top of the pastry with beaten egg and place on the lined baking tray.
- Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, until the top of the pastry is golden brown and the black pudding is fully cooked. Allow the parcels to stand for a few minutes before serving.
