Ingredients Needed

• 100g (3.5 oz) pistachios
• Plain flour, for dusting
• 1 x 320g (11.3 oz) sheet of ready-rolled puff pastry
• 25g (0.9 oz) icing sugar
• 1 pinch ground cinnamon
• 1 orange, zested
• 640g (22.5 oz) mixed berries (strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• Vanilla ice cream, to serve
• Orange blossom honey, to serve
• Fresh mint (optional), for garnish

How To Make Jamie Oliver Zesty Puff Pastry Swirls

1. Preheat the Griddle: Warm the griddle pan over medium heat while prepping ingredients.
2. Crush the Pistachios: Use a pestle and mortar to bash pistachios until fairly fine.
3. Prep the Pastry: Dust your work surface with flour. Unroll the puff pastry, then sift over the icing sugar and cinnamon. Grate over half of the orange zest and sprinkle half the pistachios.
4. Form the Swirls: Roll the pastry up from the short side into a sausage shape. Cut into 12 rounds, then roll each round out to 5mm thick or press flat by hand.
5. Cook the Berries: Wash and prep the berries. Hull strawberries. On one side of the griddle, cook the berries for 4 minutes until jammy, then set aside.
6. Griddle the Swirls: Place the swirls on the other side of the griddle and press lightly. Cook for 4 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crisp.
7. Serve: Plate 3 swirls per person with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Top with warm berries, extra orange zest, pistachios, a drizzle of orange blossom honey, and mint leaves if using.
