- 2 oz cashews
- 1.25 oz arugula, little reserved for garnish
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
- 3.5 oz Gruyere, grated
- 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp olive oil
- 14 oz chicken breast, cut into strips
- 9.5 oz prepared puff pastry
- 8.75 oz piquante peppers stuffed with cream cheese
- 8.75 oz cherry tomatoes
- Preheat the oven to 400u0b0F. Heat a frying pan and dry fry the cashew nuts until golden brown. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Place in a food processor along with the arugula, garlic, 1 oz cheese and 1/2 cup oil and process to a pesto. Season to taste.
- Heat 2 tbsp oil in a frying pan and cook the chicken, turning, until browned. Season to taste, remove from the pan and allow to cool.
- Line a 9 1/2 inch diameter tart pan with parchment paper, then the pastry. Pinch the pastry edges so they are slightly wavy. Spread with 2/3 of the pesto, then 2/3 of the chicken. Mix the peppers, tomatoes and remaining chicken and spread over the top. Spoon over the remaining pesto, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for 25 mins.
