Why this recipe works
Cold filling meets cold puff pastry
Warm spinach would soften the fat in the puff pastry before baking the parcels. Therefore, a short cooling phase is part of the preparation process. For four parcels 150 g rectangular puff pastry is required, about a 22 by 25 cm large piece. Depending on the product, divide the area appropriately; the nutritional values refer to the weighted dough weight, not to any whole roll.
