Instructions
-
Prepare the Filling: Begin by dicing the large onion and mincing the garlic cloves. Drain the canned mushrooms and chop them into smaller pieces. Set aside all these prepared ingredients.
-
-
Cook the Aromatics: In a skillet, melt the margarine over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced onion, sautéing them until they become fragrant and translucent. Once they are aromatic, incorporate the canned tuna and chopped mushrooms. Stir in the fish sauce, salt, ground black pepper, and a pinch of sugar. Cook this mixture for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Once done, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
-
Prepare the Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry to room temperature. Depending on your preferred shape, cut the pastry sheets into triangles or rectangles. For triangles, cut each sheet into four pieces; for rectangles, aim for six equal squares.
-
Assemble the Puffs: Spoon a generous amount of the tuna and mushroom filling onto one half of each pastry piece. Add a slice or sprinkle of cheddar cheese on top of the filling. Fold the pastry over to enclose the filling, pressing the edges together to seal. For an extra secure closure, use the tines of a fork to crimp the edges.
-
Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Brush the surface of each pastry with the egg wash, which will give the puffs a beautiful golden color when baked. For an added cheesy touch, sprinkle more grated cheddar on top.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Arrange the prepared puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown. Keep an eye on them, as oven temperatures can vary.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the puffs from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Serve them warm, accompanied by a side of spicy chili sauce and mayonnaise for dipping, enhancing the flavor with every bite.
