Ingredients

375g sheet ready-rolled all-butter puff pastry
Plain flour for dusting
1 medium egg, beaten, for glazing
100g ready-roasted red peppers, drained and finely diced
½ celery stick, finely diced
Juice of ½ lime and a little zest
Small pinch of sugar
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Small handful of fresh flatleaf parsley, roughly chopped
50g feta, crumbled

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Open out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and roll it out into a slightly larger rectangle. Put on a baking sheet, prick all over with a fork, then brush with the beaten egg. Bake for 10-12 minutes until crisp, risen and golden brown.
Remove the pastry from the oven and put a second baking sheet on top of it, pressing down firmly to flatten the pastry. Leave to cool.
Put the red peppers and celery in a bowl, stir in the lime juice and zest, a pinch of sugar and some seasoning. Drizzle over the oil and set aside for 10 minutes for the flavours to mingle.
Cut the pastry into 4cm squares and put on a serving platter. Toss the red pepper salsa with the parsley and feta, then use to top the croûtes. Serve immediately with the cocktail.
