PUFFED PASTRY STUFFED WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Slice puff pastry squares diagonally so you have two smaller triangles. Set aside. Take the cut up shrimp and place half into the bowl for the Indian stuffing and half in the bowl for the Greek stuffing. Combine all ingredients for each type of stuffing in their respective bowls and mix well with spoon or hands.
• Lay one diagonal pasty sheet on a wooden cutting board, spoon a small amount of either stuffing in the middle of the pastry sheet and then fold the sheet into a smaller triangle, pinching the edges to seal the shell. Take a fork and press the tines down on the finger-sealed edges to secure the hold.
• Place stuffed pastry sheets on a cooking-spray coated baking sheet, align so you can get as many triangles on it as possible.
• Mix one egg with a few drops of water, beat well. Brush egg mixture over the top of the prepared and stuffed pastry. Place in the oven, cook until pastry is puffed and golden, about 15-20 minute Check on the pastry often. Remove from oven, let cool at least 5 min and then serve with yogurt.

STUFFED PUFF PASTRY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put a medium saucepan on the stove over high heat. Put the figs, honey, and water in the pan, stir, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and allow the water to simmer. The honey and natural sugars from the figs should thicken the water. Continue to simmer figs until a sauce is achieved that is thick enough to cover the back of a spoon. When sauce has reached that consistency, remove from heat. Put "fig sauce" in a refrigerator-safe container, and allow cooling for at least 20 minutes.
• Spread a sheet of puff pastry out on a clean, lightly floured surface. Scoop a small amount of fig sauce on the puff pastry sheet with about 2 inches around the sauce on every side. Put a piece of Brie on top of the sauce. Carefully fold the edges of the puff pastry over the cheese. Squeeze the edges of the pastry together then carefully flip the pastry over, so the smooth surface of the pastry is facing up. Gently take the pastry and put it on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Repeat this until all the cheese is used. You should have 8 small stuffed pastries.
• When all the pastries are on the sheet tray, take a pastry brush, and lightly brush egg whites on the top and sides of each pastry, this will give the pastry a shine when it comes out of the oven. Drizzle a small amount of honey on top of each pastry.
• Bake the pastries until the puff pastry is a golden brown. This should take about 15 minutes, but keep your eyes on the baking process. When the pastries are golden brown, remove from the oven, and allow them to cool on a cooling rack. Allow them to cool for 3-5 minutes, then serve warm.
