Puff Pastry with Radish Tops Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
• 1 cup radish tops, chopped and washed
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Unfold the puff pastry onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and prick it all over with a fork.
3. Place the chopped radish tops, Parmesan cheese, chopped walnuts, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Pulse for a few seconds until everything is combined, but still has some texture.
4. Spoon the radish tops mixture over the puff pastry, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
6. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Verdict:

This puff pastry with radish tops is a unique and tasty appetizer. The radish tops add a slightly bitter flavor, which is balanced perfectly by the Parmesan cheese and walnuts. The puff pastry adds a nice buttery and flaky texture, creating a satisfying bite. This recipe is a great way to use up the tops of radishes that are often discarded.

Serving Suggestions:

This dish is best served warm or at room temperature. It can be served as an appetizer, a side dish, or even as a light lunch. If serving as an appetizer, slice the pastry into bite-sized pieces. If serving as a side dish, cut the pastry into larger slices. You can also drizzle some balsamic glaze over the top for an extra flavor boost.
