Mini Vegetarian Puff Pastry Pizzas

This chile pepper gets its name from its origin. In Spanish, serrano is an adjective meaning “from the mountains” which is where it originated-in the mountains of Hildalgo, Mexico. The serrano is normally about twice as hot as Jalapeno (about 10,000 to 15,000 Scoville units).It is the second most popular chile pepper in Mexico. This chile is used mostly for salsas but can also be used in soups, sauces, chili or stews.Try these as a hotter substitute for Jalapeno.

Serves: 12 mini pizzas

INGREDIENTS
2 Rectangular Sheet of Puff Pastry (275g each)
½ Zucchini
½ Aubergine (eggplant)
½ Small Onion
Goat &/or Blue Cheese
50g Arugula (Rucola)
Pizza Sauce
3 Medium Tomatoes
Black Olives
Chile Peppers (any type you like)

INSTRUCTIONS
Wash all the vegetables. Thinly slice tomatoes, zucchini, olives and onion. Slice or dice the aubergine.

Line a baking tray with baking sheet.

Now roll out puff pastry. Use a 13cm/5inch bowl to cut rounds out of the pastry. Transfer them onto the baking tray. Use a smaller bowl /cookie cutter(10cm/4inch) to create an impression on the individual pastry rounds.

Spread pizza sauce (have a look at my pizza sauce) over and top with vegetables, cheese (sliced or crumbled) and olives.

Bake in a preheated oven at 200C/400F for 15 minutes or until the edges have risen and the pastry has nice golden color.

About 5 minutes before taking it out add some finely chopped chilies (optional).
When ready, top with arugula and serve!

NOTE:
When topping the pastry with vegetables, stay within the inner circle to leave space for the pastry to rise.
