goats' cheese, spinach and red pepper puff pastry tart.


this is my current favourite "cheat eat" which would be perfect for an easy midweek meal, sliced up with a salad for lunch or cut into pieces as party food. all you need is a puff pastry sheet, a sauce base and some tasty toppings! here i made it with tomato and marscapone sauce, wilted spinach, sliced somerset goats' cheese, half a red pepper and a couple of button mushrooms. put it in the oven on 200 degrees for 15-20 minutes and bam it's ready to devour!

you begin by laying the puff pastry sheet on a baking paper lined tray and folding in the sides to double up the edges.


layer on the sauce - i have also made this with a red pepper and ricotta pesto base! :)


sprinkle on your toppings of choice! i wilted my spinach with a dash of water in a saucepan for 1-2 minutes. 


place in the middle of the oven for the 10-15 minutes until golden. 


there you have it - shh you might even trick people into thinking you made the puff pastry from scratch! ;) 


what would you have on yours? if you like this you might like my 5-a-day veggie lasagne :)

  3. I found this page while comparing Canadian casinos by province and became interested when Nova Scotia appeared with two separate locations. The nova scotia casino resource gave me a clearer picture of both Halifax and Sydney. Halifax appealed to me because of the waterfront location and larger entertainment spaces, while Sydney seemed more relaxed and unusual because of its golf simulator. I also liked that the gaming information includes slots, blackjack and roulette alongside online options. I normally prefer destinations where gaming is only part of the evening, so the live entertainment details were useful. The Nova Scotia setting gives the whole resource a clear Canadian identity, which made it more relevant to my search.
