Puff Pastries with Nuts and Beans
Baking and Desserts • European
Description
250 grams of puff pastry — 1 sheet of ready-made store-bought dough. You can add nuts to taste, but pine nuts should be included regardless :) If desired, the pastries can simply be baked in the oven.
Ingredients
- White Beans 5 oz
- Pistachios 5 oz
- Unleavened dough 10 oz
- Shelled pumpkin seeds 5 oz
- Honey 2 tablespoons
- Salt a pinch
- Light Raisins, Seedless 0 oz
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Soak the beans in cold water for several hours.
Step 2
Add the beans to boiling water and cook over low heat until tender (about 1 hour).
Step 3
Meanwhile, chop the nuts and raisins in a blender, add honey, blend the mixture, and transfer it to a bowl.
Step 4
Cool the cooked beans, then blend them into a puree and add to the nut mixture, mixing everything together.
Step 5
Roll out the dough and cut it into squares (usually each square requires re-rolling; the thinner, the better).
Step 6
Make the pastries by adding the filling and shaping them as desired (I prefer round shapes, like khinkali).
Step 7
Quickly fry the pastries until golden brown in hot oil (about 1.5–2 minutes on each side).
Step 8
Finish cooking the pastries in the oven at 355°F for 15 minutes.
