Sardine Puffs

 Salam,
I know I've been lacking in updating this blog, some things came up, and I couldn't find the time to bake anything.

Anyway, we are going into the last week of Ramadhan. Oh my, time sure do fly really fast. I managed to break fast a few times back home in Kota Seriemas, and at my FMIL's house in Kulim. This weekend is actually the first weekend I spend in Kg Wai for Ramadhan.

I've been meaning to bake chocolate tarts today, however, I'm out of flour, so I'll end up making these sardine puffs. This recipe is my own, and I used a ready made puff pastry. It is so easy, and so fast to make too :)

Sardine Puffs

Difficulty level: Super Easy
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
Yields : 10 puffs

Ingredients:

1 whole large onion - chopped
1 clove of garlic - chooped
1 red chilli (put more if you like it spicier) - chopped
2 can of Sardines
1 tbsp lime juice
salt to season
1 packet of ready made puff pastry



Steps:
1. Saute the chopped onion, garlic and red chilli until it turned soft and brown.

2. Add in the sardine fillet, without the tomato sauce. Mashed the sardine fillet with the back of a spoon of a fork.

3. Add in lime juice. Cook for about 5 minutes.

Assembling the puffs
1. Take a piece of puff pastry

2. Spoon in the fillings in the middle

3. Brush the edge of the pastry with egg white
4. Fold into triangle, and pinch the edge together. Take a fork, and press into the edge






5. Transfer into baking tray, and brush the top with egg yolk.

6. Bake at 160C for 20 minutes


Taste: Crispy! However, I think the pastry add some saltiness to the whole puff, so make sure the fillings is not so salty. :)

Happy trying

Love,
