Published 4th March, 2025
Serves: 10
Preparation: 15 Mins Cooking: 15 Mins
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry, cut into 5mm strips
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp milk
- 100g Barossa Fine Foods Gypsy Ham, finely chopped
- 250g Ricotta
- 2 tbsp lemon thyme leaves
- ¼ cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp oregano
- Sea salt & cracked black pepper, to season
- Dill leaves, to garnish
- 10 stainless steel baking cone moulds
Method
- Preheat a fan-forced oven to 180°C.
- Wrap the strips of puff pastry around the lightly greased stainless steel baking cone moulds, starting from the pointy end and working your way up the cone, slightly over-wrapping the pastry each time you go around. Keeping the pastry chilled will make it easier to handle.
- In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and milk. Set aside.
- Place the pastry cones on a lined baking tray, brush with the egg wash and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, place the ham, ricotta, thyme, parsley and oregano into a bowl and combine well. Season to taste.
- Once the pastry carrots have cooled, remove the baking cone moulds and fill the pastry carrots with the ricotta mixture. Place the dill in the top to garnish.
Note
- Fill approximately 20 minutes before serving. If done too early, the pastry may become soggy.
