INGREDIENTS

For the meat:

400g minced beef

1 onion, chopped

1 egg

30ml (2 tbsp) vegetable oil

1g (1 tsp) thyme

1g (1/2 tsp) chili flakes

9g (1 1/2 tsp) salt

1g (1/2 tsp) black pepper

For the cake:

2 sheets puff pastry

4 zucchini

30ml (2 tbsp) water

5 cherry tomatoes

10mini-balls mozzarella

1 egg yolk

Water

METHOD

In a bowl combine minced beef, onion, egg, thyme, chili flakes, salt, black pepper and vegetable oil. Mix well and then shape small meatballs. Set aside.
Cut zucchini lengthwise into 3 mm (1⁄8 inch) thick planks.
Cut 1 puff pastry sheet into 13 -15 stripes. The stripes should be as wide as zucchini are.
Top 10-12 stripes of puff pastry with a slice of zucchini and a meatball.
Flatten the meatball a bit, top with zucchini and one more meatball.
Flatten the top meatball as well and cling the edges of the pastry together to make a “petal”. Continue with the rest of the pastry strips.
Cut out a circle from the second sheet of pastry, exactly to fit the size of your baking dish/tray.
Place a small bowl or glass in the center of the round pastry. Arrange all “petals” around the bowl in the shape of a flower.
Brush the edges of the circle sheet of pastry with water and seal them to the back of the “petals”.
Take 3 pastry stripes, top them with zucchini or courgette plank and cover with the remaining meat. Roll a strip into a tight circle and wrap the next stripe around the first one.
Do the same procedure with the third stripe and place the circle in the center of the cake.
Fill empty spaces between the center and petals with more pastry stripes and zucchini.
Cut cherry tomatoes in half and put on top of inner meatballs and arrange mozzarella balls right under the cherry.
Brush the edges of the flower cake with egg yolk.
Bake in the preheated to 200C/400F oven for 30-35 minutes.
Share between plates and enjoy.
