SERVES 4-5 persone

READY IN 1h

INGREDIENTS:

5,9 oz smoked salmon

7 oz Ricotta cheese

1 egg

3 slices wholemeal bread (about 4,5 oz)

1 tablespoon Parmigiano

1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Salt and pepper to taste

1 puff pastry sheet, rectangular (I used Stuffer)

1 egg yolk

1 tablespoon water

1 pinch salt

STEP 1: MAKE THE FILLING

Place the salmon in the blender

and whisk it coarsely.

Put it in a bowl with ricotta, egg, chopped bread, Parmigiano and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.

Stir with a fork.

STEP 2: FILL THE PUFF PASTRY

Unroll the puff pastry roll and cut off a strip of dough.

Use it to create the final decorations. I used impression molds to carve leaves, then I made small balls and zigzag strips.

Place the filling in the center of the rectangle,

brush the left side of the dough with the yolk + water + salt mix and place it on top of the filling,

do the same with the one on the right as well

and press on the ends to seal the filling inside the pastry.

Rotate the roll with the help of parchment paper to give it a round shape,

then make sure that the part where the sheets match remains on the bottom (to avoid damaging the decoration if a little filling comes out during cooking).
