Ingredients

Plain flour for dusting
450g / 1 lb pack of ready-rolled puff pastry or block of puff pastry
2 teaspoons Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste
100g / 3 ½ oz Parmesan cheese, grated
Freshly ground black pepper
1 egg, beaten

How to make it

Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F / Gas 4 and lightly grease a large baking sheet.
Lightly flour a clean, flat surface.
If you are using pre-rolled pastry, gently peel the puff pastry away from the lining sheet. If using a block, roll it out to about 5mm / ¼ inch thick.
Spread the Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste evenly over the top surface. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and a little pepper.
Fold in half and roll out again to 5mm / ¼ inch thick, taking care not to break the surface and expose the paste/cheese (if you do, simply re-fold and try again).
Cut into strips about 3cm / 1 ¼ inches wide. Holding both ends of the first strip, twist it into a spiral and place on the prepared baking sheet. Continue with the remaining strips.
Brush each strip with beaten egg to cover the exposed surfaces.
Bake for 15–20 minutes until golden and crisp. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
