Tomato basil elephant ears

1) Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6.

2) To make the paste, place the sun-dried tomatoes and garlic in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process for 30 seconds. Add the basil, salt and pepper. With the processor running, slowly pour the olive oil into the bowl through the feed tube and process until pureed. Add the parmesan and puree for 15 seconds. Set aside.

3) Unfold 1 sheet of puff pastry and place it on a lightly floured board. With a rolling pin, lightly roll the pastry to make a 33cm square. Using a palette knife, spread the paste over the top of the pastry. Fold the sides of the square toward the centre so that they go halfway to the middle. Fold them again so that the 2 folds meet exactly in the middle of the pastry. Then fold one half over the other half as though closing a book. You will have 6 layers. Slice the dough into 1cm slices and place the slices, cut side up, on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Brush each piece with egg wash and place in the oven. Bake for 6 minutes. Turn each pastry slice over and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
