Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Canned tuna (in oil) | 160g |
| Puff pastry | 230g |
| Tomato passata | 60g |
| Taggiasca olives | 30g |
| Caciocavallo cheese (sliced) | 100g |
| Chives | q.b. |
| Rosemary | q.b. |
| Thyme | q.b. |
| Red onions | ½ (sliced) |
| Button mushrooms | 150g (sliced) |
| Fine salt | q.b. |
| Extra virgin olive oil | q.b. |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the ingredients: Begin by cleaning and thinly slicing the red onions. Set aside. Then, pick the thyme leaves off the stems and finely chop the rosemary needles. Set these herbs aside as well.
-
Prepare the puff pastry: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the puff pastry sheet on top. Use a fork to gently prick the surface of the pastry, ensuring it doesn’t puff too much during baking.
-
Layer the pastry: Spread a third of the tomato passata over the center of the pastry. This forms the base layer for your flavors. Then, evenly distribute the slices of Caciocavallo cheese on top of the tomato layer, making sure it’s well-covered.
-
Add the toppings: On the remaining third of the pastry, arrange the sliced mushrooms and onions. Season the whole thing with a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
-
Cook the pastry: Drizzle the entire pastry with a touch of extra virgin olive oil. Then, transfer the baking sheet to the middle rack of a preheated oven. Bake at 190°C (375°F) for around 15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crisp.
-
Finishing touches: Once the pastry is cooked, remove it from the oven. Drain the canned tuna and gently break it into bite-sized chunks. Scatter the tuna on top of the hot pastry, allowing it to warm slightly from the residual heat. Garnish with fresh chives for a burst of color and flavor.
-
Serve and enjoy: Slice the Multigusto Puff Pastry with Tuna into portions and serve hot. This dish is perfect for appetizers or as a light meal that combines different flavors and textures in every bite.
