a) Remove the puff pastry from your fridge and allow to come up to room temperature.
b) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
c) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
a) Cut the pastry into 6 equal squares. Place 2 squares side-by-side on another lined baking tray and poke holes in them using a fork.
b) Leaving a 2cm border, cut the centre from the remaining 4 squares. These are your border pieces. TIP: Save the centre pieces for another recipe.
a) Brush a little water onto each border piece, then stack 2 border pieces on top of each pastry square on the lined baking tray, wet-side down, ensuring the edges and corners of each piece line up. These are your vol-au-vents!
b) Place the vol-au-vents onto the middle shelf of your oven until puffed and golden, 20-25 mins. Turn halfway through cooking.
a) In a medium saucepan, combine the water, olive oil (see pantry for amount) sliced mushrooms, garlic and the wild mushroom paste.
b) Bring to the boil, then allow to boil until all the water has evaporated, x-x mins.
a) Meanwhile, finely chop the chives (use scissors if easier).
b) Once the water has evaporated, add the creme fraiche, hard Italian cheese and three quarters of the chives.
c) Simmer to thicken, 3-4 mins, then stir through the truffle zest (add less if you prefer).
a) Once the vol-au-vents are baked, push down the centre with the back of a spoon, then allow them to cool slightly, 5 mins.
b) Place on your serving plate, then divide the mushroom mixture between the vol-au-vents.
c) Sprinkle over the remaining chives to finish.
Enjoy!
