Method
Native pepper and spring onion salt
- Place the spring onion greens onto a perforated baking tray and place into the oven on Drying function at 50⁰C for 5 hours, or until they crumble.
- Blend or process the spring onion greens until fine, pulse with salt and pepper to combine.
Cheese straws
- Divide the puff pastry in half and roll each half into a 25 cm square approximately 3 mm thick.
- Using a microplane, finely grate the cheese directly over one half of the pastry. Sprinkle 2 tsp of the onion and
native pepper salt evenly over the cheese. - Lay the second sheet of pastry over the top and use a rolling pin to flatten the pastry to 5 mm.
- Preheat the oven on Fan Plus at 170⁰C.
- Trim the edges of the pastry so you have straight sides. Cut the pastry into 4 mm strips and place onto two perforated baking trays.
- Place the perforated baking trays on shelf levels 2 and 4 and bake for 15 minutes, or until golden.
Hints and tips
- This recipe makes a large quantity of straws. You could halve the pastry, using one half now and storing the other half in the freezer for later use.
- Use the remaining Native pepper and spring onion salt on a variety of recipes. It’s delicious on everything.
