Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 3 min.
Olive twists
If you are using home-made puff pastry, roll it out thinly (1-2 mm or 1/8 inch) into a large rectangle and cut into 2 equal pieces.

If you are using ready-rolled pastry, as in the photo, cut the circle into 2 equal halves.

Stage 2 - 3 min.
Olive twists
Spread one half of the pastry with 50 g Tapenade, using a palette-knife.

Stage 3 - 2 min.
Olive twists
Lay the other half on top.

Stage 4 - 1 hour
Olive twists
Fold the cooking parchment over the pastry, wrap in plastic film and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (this can also be done the day before).

Stage 5 - 1 min.
Olive twists
Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Glaze the top of the pastry.

Stage 6 - 10 min.
Olive twists
Cut into long, thin strips, then twist them and lay on a baking sheet (though you can leave them flat if you prefer).

Stage 7 - 20 min.
Olive twists
Bake for about 20 minutes until nicely browned and leave to cool on a wire rack.

Serve warm or cold.
Remarks
The tapenade gives these twists quite a strong flavour, but for a bit of extra punch, pepper them generously after glazing.
Keeping
Several days in an airtight tin.
