Ingredients
For the Puff Pastry:
- 1/2 pack of instant puff pastry (brand: Edo)
For the Filling:
- 1 can of spicy tuna in oil (brand: Kingfisher)
- 3 cloves of garlic, fried to extract oil
- Boncabe or chili flakes, to taste
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Sugar, to taste
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
For the Glaze:
- 1 egg yolk, for brushing
- Chili sauce and chopped parsley, for garnish
Steps
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a pan, sautรฉ the spicy tuna chunks using the oil from the fried garlic. Next, add sweet corn kernels and season the mixture with sugar, salt, and black pepper according to your taste preferences. Stir well to combine.
Step 2: Flavor It Up
To enhance the flavor, sprinkle in Boncabe or chili flakes along with finely chopped parsley. Mix everything thoroughly and set aside to cool.
Step 3: Assemble the Puffs
Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into squares, as shown in the photo. Place a spoonful of the tuna mixture on each square, followed by some chopped hard-boiled egg. Carefully fold the pastry over the filling and press the edges with the tines of a fork to seal them, ensuring no filling escapes during baking.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Brush the tops of the puffs with egg yolk for a beautiful golden finish. Optionally, drizzle with chili sauce and sprinkle with chopped parsley for added flair. Bake in a preheated oven at approximately 200 degrees Celsius (about 400 degrees Fahrenheit) for around 18 minutes, or until the pastries are golden and firm, adjusting the time as necessary for your specific oven.
Enjoy!
Once baked, let the puffs cool slightly before serving. These Chilli Tuna Puffs are not just easy to make but are also irresistibly delicious. Perfect for any occasion, enjoy them fresh out of the oven or at room temperature!
