The other day I was on Tastespotting, and The Review Lady had posted a picture of a black bean and mushroom pinwheel, but did not have the recipe. Well, it looked delicious, so I added it to my list of favourites, vowing to invent something based on the picture in the near future. Well, when I was making a vegetarian meal when a couple of friends came over, I thought "black beans, that would add some substance," and it was ON. I am 100% sure this did not taste like the inspiration pinwheel, but it was delicious!
Pinwheel:
1/2 package puff pastry (one of the two Tenderflake squares)
1 tsp olive oil
10 mushrooms
1/2 can black beans
1/4 cup grated parmesan
1 tsp cumin
As per the pastry instructions, defrost and roll out the puff pastry. Saute the mushrooms in oil, and as they are finished, sprinkle in the cumin. Drain and rinse the black beans, and smush them with your hands as you add them in. Mix everything together, and spread evenly over the surface of the pastry. Sprinkle the parmesan over evenly as well.Gently roll the pastry into a tube shape. Try not to loose the filling. Cut it into even sections about 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick.
Spray a backing sheet with cooking spray (to avoid pastry sticking), and place each roll with a flat side on the sheet. If you have some extra parmesan, you may want to sprinkle a bit on top.Back at 375 F for about 20 - 30 minutes (until golden brown) and then serve. When I made this for the girls, it went over very well, but when i made it for my husband he said it tasted a bit like a Taco Bell burrito. He seems to think that anything made with cumin does, but what does he know?
I made them as full sized appetizers, but if you cut the dough in half so that the wheels are smaller, they would make a tasty finger food.
Court, thanks so much for the nice comment you left directing me to this post. I look forward to trying your recipe - it looks delicious and is a great find since I had no idea how to replicate the one in Lexington!
ReplyDeleteOff topic (but related to one of your other posts) I am glad to have found your blog - your restaurant list for Edmonton is such a fantastic resource for locals. I wish someone had a list like that for my home town since the "where to eat?" question always comes up on the weekend.
I thought this was absolutely delicious (not like Taco Bell, lol) and I will definitely be making this now I know how :) Thanks for dinner again, we should do it again soon!
ReplyDeleteThese sound great! It's bookmarked!
ReplyDeleteThese look so tasty and filling. I thought by the picture it was a cinnamon roll - what a pleasant surprise!
ReplyDeleteThese sounds fantastic! Such an impressive presentation too!
ReplyDeleteThere is something about mushrooms that we can't get enough of...then you threw in the bean from our top 3 bean list!!!! Over the top!
ReplyDeleteVery clever and tasty looking pinwheel, though I wonder if the taco bell reference is a good or bad thing.. hehe
