Time 3h25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup low-salt chicken broth
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup honey
1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce, left whole
1 (6-ounce) container fresh raspberries or 1 cup frozen (thawed)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (half of a 17.3-ounce package), thawed
Flour, for dusting
1 (5.5-ounce) log goat cheese, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until aromatic. Add the chicken broth, bell pepper, honey, ginger, vinegar, and chipotle chile, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 2 1/2 hours. Add the raspberries and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the chutney cool slightly. Stir in the cilantro and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. (Chutney can be prepared 3 days in advance. Cool and store in the refrigerator).
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry into a 12-inch square. Cut the pastry into 2 to 3-inch squares. Put the squares on the prepared baking sheet. Using a small cookie cutter score a circle in the center of each square or using a paring knife, score a 1/2-inch border around the edge of each square. Bake the squares until puffed and golden, about 12 minutes.
  • Remove the scored, top section of the cooked pastry and fill with some of the goat cheese. Spoon a generous dollop of the chipotle-raspberry chutney on top of the goat cheese. Arrange on a serving platter and serve.

I'm not a big fan of goat cheese, but I thought these squares were delicious. The raspberry chile chutney really balances out the flavor of the goat cheese.

These goat cheese squares are a bit too rich for my taste. I would have preferred a lighter appetizer.

The raspberry chile chutney was too spicy for my taste. I would have preferred a milder chutney.

I thought the goat cheese squares were a bit bland. I would have liked more flavor from the goat cheese.

I love the contrast of flavors in this dish. The goat cheese is mild and creamy, while the raspberry chile chutney is sweet and spicy. Together, they create a delicious and unique appetizer.

These goat cheese squares were a hit at my party! The combination of creamy goat cheese, tangy raspberry, and spicy chile was perfect. I will definitely be making these again.
