An idea for a simple and local aperitif
Puff pastry with sun-dried tomato and basil pesto

Ingredients:

– 1 frozen puff pastry from Fidélice (follow thawing instructions)

– 1 jar of dried tomato pesto from Marcello Farms

– 1 jar of pesto genoese from Marcello Farms

– 1 egg yolk for the gilding

Roll out the puff pastry on baking paper into a large rectangle 0.3 cm thick.

Cut into 2 overlapping rectangles widthwise. Brush one half of a rectangle with sun-dried tomato pesto and the other half with pesto. Cover with the second rectangle of puff pastry.

Using a knife, cut out the shape of a tree and cut out a trunk. For the branches of the tree, cut 1.5cm wide strips and twist them. You can cut the scraps with a cookie cutter (in the shape of star or other) to make pretty bites.

Brush the fir tree and the cuttings with a beaten egg yolk mixed with a tablespoon of water. Put in the oven for about 15 minutes at 428*F, serve warm or hot.
