Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 tbsp oil
  • ½ red pepper (very finely diced)
  • ½ green pepper (very finely diced)
  • ½ white onion (very finely diced)
  • 3 baby mushrooms (very finely diced)
  • 2 tbsp fajita spice mix
  • 320 g pack of ready rolled vegan puff pastry*
  • 35 g tomato puree
  • 50 g tomato ketchup
  • 100 g vegan cheese
  • 25 g jalapeños (finely diced)

Instructions
 

  • Fry the peppers, onion and mushrooms in the fajita spice and oil for 5 minutes until softened. Remove from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
    1 tbsp oil, 1/2 red pepper, 1/2 green pepper, 1/2 white onion, 3 baby mushrooms, 2 tbsp fajita spice mix
  • Remove the ready rolled puff pastry from the fridge 10 minutes before you want to use it.
    320 g pack of ready rolled vegan puff pastry*
  • Unroll the puff pastry.
  • Smooth over a thin layer of tomato puree and ketchup, leaving a gap of approximately 1.5cm around all edges.
    35 g tomato puree, 50 g tomato ketchup
  • Sprinkle with cheese.
    100 g vegan cheese
  • Add the cold fajita veg that you prepared earlier, evenly spreading it over the pastry.
  • Sprinkle over the diced jalapeños.
    25 g jalapeños
  • Starting from one of the short edges, roll the pastry up as tightly as you can without the filling squidging out the sides.
  • Place the rolled up pastry in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm it up, this will make it easier to cut into rounds.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C fan (200°C conventional / 400°F / gas mark 6) and line a large oven tray with non-stick baking paper.
  • Using a very sharp knife, trim off and discard the excess pastry at either end and then slice the remaining filled pastry into 10 rounds.
  • Place the rounds on the baking tray and bake for 25 minutes until golden.
  • Set aside for 10 minutes before serving. Can be enjoyed warm or cold.
