Sun-dried Tomato and Chive Palmiers
Today I am featuring an adapted recipe from Baking Made Easy by Lorraine Pascale. I received this recipe book for Christmas and have finally found some time to have a good look through it. This is not a book to cook from if you are dieting as the main categories for the book are:
Breads
Cakes
Savoury Baking
Desserts & Patisserie
Dinner Party
Sweet Treats
There are however, lots of great recipes in the book - a very high percentage of which are vegetarian, or could be adapted to be vegetarian.
When I came across these Palmiers, I thought that they looked really easy to make and would also taste delicious. I am happy to report that I was right. I used fresh chives rather than fresh thyme to make them and I also used pre-bought store puff pastry which is always handy to have in the house. Rather than cutting the sun dried tomatoes and chives with a knife, I used some kitchen scissors to chop them up which I always think is much quicker and easier.
These Palmiers make a great after school snack, and also make great Canapes too for the grown-ups. I will be cooking more recipes from Baking Made Easy and will report back to let you know how I got on!

I haven't got her book but watched the series. These look tasty - great for a party
ReplyDeleteThey were tasty Beth - and look really appetising
DeleteGreat recipe, I am going to share it with my wife.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob, I hope you wife enjoys making them
DeleteThese look great, I make these with tomato, cheese and basil and sometimes with pesto.
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan, good idea to vary the ingredients. There are lots of similar recipes on my site which use tomato, cheese and basil as they are my three favourite ingredients to cook with and I can see that they would work well here too. Pesto would be good also, I got a new pestle and mortar for Christmas and so may have a go at making my own pesto as the shop versions are not always truly veggie. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThese look lovely, Claire. I must give them a go. Hope you are well, Charlotte @gofreecakes x
