Follow The Directions

01

Step

TO PREPARE PASTRY PURSES: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Thaw puff pastry as directed on package. On a lightly floured surface, unfold pastry and roll into a 12-inch rectangle. Cut into 12 (3-inch) squares. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a saute pan over high heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon minced shallots, corn, and mushrooms; saute for 1 minute. Add 1/4 cup cooking wine, white pepper, and thyme. Add spinach and saute for an additional 30 seconds. Remove from heat. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Place 1 Tablespoon of filling in the center of each square. Brush the edges of the square with beaten egg. Bring four corners together, pressing firmly to seal. Pull up and twist the corners to create the top of the purse. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Place purses on a baking sheet and brush the top of each purse with egg. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve with sauce, if desired. (18 minutes)

06

Step

TO PREPARE OPTIONAL SAUCE: Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saute pan over high heat. Add remaining 1/2 teaspoon minced shallots and celery. Saute for 30 to 40 seconds or until lightly browned. (3 minutes)

07

Step

Add remaining 1/4 cup cooking wine, brown sugar, and bay leaf. Reduce heat to medium. (2 minutes)

08

Step

In a small bowl, combine cold water and cornstarch to make a slurry; add to cooking wine mixture and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly until thickened. (7 minutes)

09

Step

Remove from heat and set aside until ready to serve. Discard bay leaf before serving. (1 minute)

For an even richer flavor, consider adding a touch of grated Parmesan cheese to the vegetable filling.
To prevent the pastry from becoming soggy, ensure the vegetable filling is not overly moist before assembling the purses.
The Marsala sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated gently before serving.
Experiment with different vegetables in the filling, such as bell peppers, zucchini, or eggplant, for a unique twist.
