puff pastry

A bit of fun for Christmas and very easy to make if you use ready rolled puff pastry. I think next time I'd increase the amount of sausage meat as I think the wreath would look better a bit fatter! Ingredients Puff pastry (home made or ready rolled) 300g good quality pork sausages 1/2 tsp...

Every year we drive to the docks in Delcambre, La., about 30 miles from home. We buy fresh shrimp off of the shrimp boats. I remove the heads, weigh the tails to 1 lb. portions then freeze in zip bags with water. I took out the second to last pack out of the freezer today to make shrimp pies...

A couple important things – not to overcook the scallops OR to undercook the puff pastry. Striking the balance meant watching the oven often. There was more of a concern making the mini-pie than the mini-muffins – because in the latter case you do want to make sure that the scallops and...
