This is a great puff to have for a light dinner...all you have to do is pan grilled some portobello mushrooms , aubergine slices and tomato cherries with olive oil.....drizzle some balsamic vinegar over them. Filled the portobello with grated cheddar cheese and bacon chips...placed them on top of baked puff squares.....my oh my gosh , a delectable yummilicious puff square fit for Queen Momsie Elin :p Actually ,this is not a recipe from any cookbook but taking what is left in the fridge, put them together and yahoo....a delicious-ness that even Daddy got to acknowledge that this is a really quick and easy to prepare light delicious meal . I really don't mind having this everyday , seriously ! The bacon chips added extra flavor to the portobello .
You can have any toppings you desired and it can be either savory or sweet. Get ready the puff squares pastry ( I bought the ready made ones from the baking store ) placed them on greased baking sheet. Put them into the preheated oven, while I pan grilled the aubergine slices, tomato cherries, bacon chips and portobello with olive oil , when the mushrooms and aubergine slices are cooked , drizzles some balsamic vinegar and salt on to the portobello and aubergine. Grate some cheese onto the portobello and filled it with bacon chips...you can add chopped italian parsley onto the bacon chips but since my pot of italian parsley was devored by the garden snails, I exclude them in this recipe , otherwise it would taste even much better. A quick and easy to fix light dinner that I hope to whip up everyday :)
mouth-watering pan grilled stuffed portobello...Mmmmm yum yumm
pile all the pan grilled aubergines, tomato and portobello on
to the surface of the baked puff squares..you can serve this
as a starter or a meal by itself :)

mushroom soup..a satisfying dinner for me but I can't answer for

I will try it for sure because of its amazing colors...gee looks perfect
ReplyDeleteLast few weeks, on my first attempt to make curry chicken puff with ready make puff pastry, it didn't turn out fine. I found it troublesome to wrap up the ingredients as the pastry is small in size. Any tips to share with me, Elin?
ReplyDeletewow...they do look delicious!! Great presentation
ReplyDeleteI could overdose on these. Love the toppings, especially the bacon.
ReplyDeleteCheers!

Rockhampton Lawyers...haha it is a great simple and fuss free puff that would be great for any meals :) Hope you will like it.
Hello :) I've been reading your blog for quite some time and absolutely love your receipes!
ReplyDeleteI've also been on a hunt for the best puff pastry (The ready made ones) but the ones I usually buy (Kawanku, local brand) tastes like 'roti canai' when it gets cold. Which is like. In a minute hahaha.
So may I know what brand did you use for this receipe? Or could you recommend any good puff pastry (But certainly not too expensive.) Thank you :)
Love eggplant - such a versatile veggie and so delicious in this preparation of it
ReplyDeleteLittle Inbox... I would recommend the Fillo Puff Pastry Pampas brand. The pieces are bigger in size so you can cut to your desired size.
ReplyDeleteYou must chill your curry chicken till they are easy to handle , meaning they stay in form so that you can be wrap up easier with your puff pastry.
Thirdly , you can place the cut pastry on your muffin / ramekin and filled with the chilled curry chicken . Cover with another piece of pastry and crimp the side with a fork. Brush with egg wash before baking.
A good brand of ready make puff pastry will give you a good puff :) Hope this helps :)
Chef Dennis & Lazaro... thanks :)
ReplyDeleteAshley...thank you so much for dropping by my blog often :) The brand I use is Pampas Fillo Puff Pastry...RM 13.80 per pack. It is not expensive.
Wizzy The Stick...I love aubergine too and aubergine can be used in many dishes...pizza is another way of using aubergine as topping :)
Dear Elin!

That looks fabulous Elin. It might even induce me to eat eggplant!
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed yummilicious! Love the combination of veges.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elin. Not much choices here. I can only find Kawan brand. I will pay attention while shopping.
ReplyDeleteAt the time being. I will try your recomendation of using 2 pieces of pastries. :)
Mmmm....love this. I can have this for a light lunch.
ReplyDeleteThese kind of meals always are the best - those "gee, what do I have left over that needs to be cooked" recipes! I love some portobello and eggplant. Yum.
