Ingredients
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (320 grams)
- 4 or 5 heaps tablespoons of tomato puree / passata
- 2 big handfuls of fresh spinach leaves
Directions
- Step 1 Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/180 fan/gas mark 6 and line a large flat baking tray.
- Step 2 Roll out pastry into a rectangle and spread the passata all over the pastry leaving a 1-2cm gap around the edges.
- Step 3 Roughly lay out all the spinach leaves on top of the passata covering all areas.
- Step 4 Starting from the long side bottom, roll up the pastry carefully until you have one long patty roll, then pinch the end of the pastry to create a seal.
- Step 5 Cut each pinwheel (approx 3cm thick) and lay them all facing up on a tray.
- Step 6 Place into the oven for approx 10-15minutes on 200 degrees celcius (you may need to leave a little longer if pinwheels are thick, but be sure they don’t burn).
- Step 7 Leave to cool on a wired rack before serving. Refrigerate up to 3 days in a airtight container. Freezer friendly for up to 3 months.
- Step 8 How to serve to a 6-9 months old+ either serve half a pinwheel or cut into finger size sticks so baby can pick it up with its fist. For 9 month old+ either serve the pinwheel whole or in bite size small cubes so baby can practise its pincer grip.
