Salaric Cooking

I picked up recipy card in Morrisons for Pastry Hearts and though we didn’t actually have the right ingredients my husband cooked us a version of the recipy for our valentines meal. So here is his version:

Chopped up two shallots, half a yellow pepper, and a few cherry tomatoes

Put them in a shallow dish

Added a splash of oil infused with sun dried tomatoes and a splash of balsamic vinegar

Roasted in the oven at… 200C? for… 15 minutes?

Meanwhile, roll puff pastry to ~3mm thick

Cut out two heart shapes

Scored a smaller heart 0.5cm in

Smeared milk around the resulting 0.5cm border

Put it in the oven for a bit to make it rise… 10 minutes or so?

Took it out, pushed the middle down

Spooned in the roasted stuff

Add chunks of feta

Back in the oven until it looked good

He boiled some new potatoes up and added ground pepper to them, and served it with a mixed leaf winter salad. We also cracked out the purple champainge flutes from our wedding meal and had fizzy flavoured water in them!

I personally would have used two sizes of heart cooky cutter and made a boarder that had more pastry on it. Al had to cut a heart shape out of paper mainly due to the fact that our little girl had bitten the bottom of the template I had been using for the heart decorations!
