The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Remove the puff pastry from your fridge.
b) Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
c) Once hot, add the bacon lardons and fry until golden, 3-5 mins, turning occasionally. Remove from the heat. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook lardons thoroughly.
d) Meanwhile, grate the cheese. Pop the pesto, sun-dried tomato paste and tomato puree into a small bowl and add a pinch of sugar (if you have any). Stir together until combined.

b) Spread the pesto mixture over the pastry in a thin layer, leaving a 1cm border on all sides.
c) Evenly sprinkle over the cooked bacon lardons and cheese.
d) Carefully roll from the long side, using the baking paper to help you, to enclose the filling and make a spiral.
a) Line a baking tray with baking paper. Trim (and discard) the end 1cm from each end of the puff pastry log to neaten, then carefully slice into 2cm wide rounds. TIP: A serrated knife makes slicing easier!
