Ingredients

Servings: 8
  • 1 pack of (270 g) fresh butter puff pastry sweet or savoury croissants and golaches (ready to bake rectangular rolled out on baking paper; 42 x 24 cm; refrigerated shelf)
  • 60 g Cashew nuts
  • 1 collar Rocket
  • 2 Garlic cloves
  • 100 g Mountain cheese
  • 100 ml + 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 7-10 Tbsp Pepper
  • 400 g Chicken filet
  • 1 package (250 g) Teufelspfefferonen, filled with cream cheese preparation in oil
  • 250 g cherry tomatoes

Directions

  1. 1

    Take the puff pastry out of the refrigerator 5-10 minutes before use. For the pesto, roast cashews in a pan without fat. Take out and let it cool down. Wash the rocket, drain well and clean, put something aside for garnishing. Peel garlic, chop coarsely. Remove the rind from the cheese and grate it. Mix the rocket with 2 tbsp. cheese, cashew nuts, garlic and 100 ml oil in the universal chopper to make a pesto. Season to taste with salt and pepper

  2. 2

    Wash the meat, dab dry and cut into strips. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan, fry the meat in it while turning. Season with salt and pepper. Take out and let cool down. Roll out the puff pastry. Cut off approx. 6 cm from the narrow side and press down on the long side so that almost a square is formed. Put the puff pastry with the baking paper in a tart tin (bottom 19 cm above, 24 cm Ø). Press the dough with your hands at the edge, making it slightly wavy. Spread about 2/3 of the pesto on the bottom

  3. 3

    Drain the peppers well. Wash the tomatoes and also drain them. Spread about 2/3 of the meat on the pesto. Add the pepperoni, tomatoes, remaining pesto and chicken and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake on the lower shelf in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for approx. 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for about 5 minutes. Remove from the mould, garnish with rocket
