Olive triangles

Olive triangles are a delightful and easy-to-make appetizer that combines the rich flavors of olives and sun-dried tomatoes with the flaky, buttery goodness of puff pastry. Perfect for parties, gatherings, or as a savory snack, these triangles are sure to impress your guests with their delicious taste and appealing presentation.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup olives
170g
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes
50g
1 sheet puff pastry
250g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Filling:
- Drain and chop the olives finely or pulse them in a food processor until they are finely minced.
- Chop the sun-dried tomatoes into small pieces. If they're particularly dry, you can rehydrate them by soaking them in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain and chop.
3. Roll Out the Puff Pastry:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to approximately a 10x10 inch (25x25 cm) square if it isn’t already the desired size. Ensure the pastry is even and not too thick.
4. Cut the Pastry:
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the pastry sheet into 16 equal squares. You can achieve this by cutting it into 4 strips in one direction and then 4 strips in the perpendicular direction.
5. Assemble the Triangles:
- Place a small amount (about 1 teaspoon) of chopped olives and sun-dried tomatoes in the center of each square.
- Fold each square into a triangle by bringing one corner over the filling to the opposite corner.
- Press the edges together to seal them, using a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch and to ensure they are properly sealed.
6. Bake the Triangles:
- Place the assembled triangles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy.
7. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the triangles to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool further.
- Serve warm or at room temperature as an appetizer or snack.

Tips:

- For best results, use high-quality olives and sun-dried tomatoes, as their flavors will greatly impact the overall taste of the triangles.

- Ensure that the puff pastry is well-chilled before using it. This helps in achieving a perfectly flaky texture when baked.

- If you prefer a more intense flavor, you can add some herbs like rosemary or thyme to the olive and sun-dried tomato mixture.

- Brush the puff pastry triangles with a beaten egg before baking to give them a beautiful golden-brown finish.

- If available, use a pizza cutter to cut the puff pastry into neat and even triangles.

Olive triangles are a quick and easy appetizer that brings together the robust flavors of olives and sun-dried tomatoes encased in flaky puff pastry. With just a few ingredients and simple steps, you can create a delicious and visually appealing snack that is perfect for any occasion. Enjoy these savory triangles hot from the oven, and watch them disappear!
