Preparation

20 mins

Medium

Heat a pan over medium heat and sauté the onion, garlic, celery, and bacon in butter for 8 minutes. In a bowl, mix the ground meat perfectly with the cashew nuts, parsley, breadcrumbs, the bacon mixture, the egg, salt, and pepper. Set aside. Roll out the puff pastry and place the meat mixture in the center, add the prune and the Manchego cheese, add more meat, and shape it with your hands to form a roll. Make cuts at the corners of the pastry, as shown in the video, and seal with egg wash. With another portion of the dough, roll out and cut strips to form the decoration of branches and another part in the shape of leaves with a knife (as shown in the video). Glaze the roll with egg and arrange the decorations. Bake at 200 °C for 35 minutes. Let it rest for 10 minutes, cut, and serve with mashed potatoes; garnish with rosemary.
