Delicious Keema Canapes with Puff Pastry
Ingredients
- 2 packs ready rolled puff/shortcrust pastry
- 500g lamb/chicken mince
- 2 bags of mozzarella cheese
- 2-3 tbsp oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1-1.5 tsp salt
- 6 cloves of garlic, sliced
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- 2 tsp curry powder
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- 1 large tomato, diced
- 2 handfuls of canned sweetcorn or 1 diced pepper
- coriander to garnish
Preparation
Heat oil in a wide pan and once hot, add the diced onion, salt, and garlic. Wait for them to soften and become translucent before adding spices, about 8-10 minutes.
Add the ground spices and saute for 2 minutes, then add the mince. Keep stirring as the mince cooks to prevent clumping. Once cooked, add the tomato and sweetcorn or pepper, and cook until most moisture evaporates and filling is dry.
Cut one sheet of ready rolled pastry into 40 squares (8 by 5). Gently push the pastry squares into a mini muffin tin. Place a little filling into each square. Add a small piece of mozzarella on top. Sprinkle with coriander.
Bake in a hot oven at gas mark 6 (200°C or 400°F) for 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven and use a plastic butter knife to loosen the pastry while warm. Allow to cool in the tins for 5 minutes before removing. Serve hot or cold.
