How to:
- Thaw the puff pastry as per the instructions
- Heat the olive oil on medium high heat (maintain this high temp throughout the process of sautéing the vegetables)
- Add in the chopped onion and fry for 3 minutes or so
- Add in the chickpeas and salt and pepper and continue to fry for 5 minutes
- Add in the mushrooms, green and red peppers and fry for 5 minutes
- Add in the spinach and sun dried tomato and fry on the medium high heat still
- The vegetables will release some water so keep em moving and frying
- Add in the hot sauce of your choice, chopped basil, and half of the lemon juice
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- Continue to cook until the water starts drying up and then take off the heat and add in the remaining lemon juice
- Once the mixture is warm but not hot, add in the low fat cream cheese if you’re using it and taste the mixture for salt and pepper
- Set aside to cool completely
- Once the mixture is not warm/hot any more, place it in the puff pastry and roll however you want. I have shown 2 methods: 1 where you simply place the mixture in a large pile and fold over the dough and the 2nd, where you spread the mixture flat and roll up the dough like a swiss roll/roulade. Either works! You get more puff pastry in the latter and more mixture in the first method.
- Bake until golden brown and serve warm with some yoghurt and mint dip if you like or on its own
ENJOY!
