Mango Chutney Raisin Parmesan Pastry Rolls

 

Major Grey's Chutney is a type of chutney, reputedly created by a 19th-century British Army officer of the same name who, though likely apocryphal, presumably lived in British India. 

Its characteristic ingredients are mango, raisins, vinegar, lime juice, onion, tamarind extract (occasionally), sweetening, and spices. 

It has been described as a mild chutney compared to others that have a spicier flavor profile. In 1982, Major Grey's Chutney was described as being the most popular type of chutney used in the United States.

Thus, it’s both sweet and savory and is perfectly matched with sweet and chewy raisins and savory, salty Parmesan cheese. With the tang of mascarpone cheese baked into a delightful, flaky puff pastry roll, you must be drooling already.

Mango Chutney Raisin Parmesan Pastry Rolls

2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
8 oz. mascarpone cheese, room temperature
1 cup Major Grey’s Mango Chutney
1 cup raisins
1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

 

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

 

Place the puff pastry dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out until about 1/3 larger than the original size. (Do this for both sheets).

 

Spread the room-temperature mascarpone cheese evenly over both pastry sheets.

 

Top with the Mango Chutney.

 

Sprinkle with both raisins and Parmesan cheese.

 

Roll the sheets up into a large log and slice.

 

Using a stick or chopstick, create two horizontal impressions and two vertical depressions and squeeze together into a beautiful pastry bulb.

 

Transfer to a baking sheet or ***better*** muffin tin.

 

Bake for 20-25 minutes, until super gooey and golden – a little charred (YUM!).

 

Remove from oven and cool enough to handle before enjoying in every way.
