• Stir in fennel fronds till wilted. • Add spices, fish sauce, sour cream, vinegar and olive syrup. Set aside to cool slightly.
• For each turnover, place puff pastry sheet on baking paper, lightly folding one corner over the opposite corner to define triangular area for filling.
• Spoon half the mixture onto triangular area, leaving a 1cm border along its two edges.
• Brush the border with egg wash and sprinkle half the salami, cheese and dill over filling.
• Fold unfilled puff pastry half over filling to form turnover, press down on edges and then crimp with fork.
• With a knife, pierce top of turnover twice, brush pastry over with egg wash.
• Transfer both turnovers, still on baking paper, to baking tray and chill uncovered in fridge.
• While turnovers are chilling, pre-heat oven to fan forced 195°C.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden.
