This recipe is a real treat for children and adults alike. Its carrot shape, made with puff pastry, makes it an attractive dish and also a delicious starter.
We'll need to use some metal cone-shaped molds to create this charming shape. These molds are commonly used in baking to make cakes with different types of dough, which are then fried or baked. These cakes are then filled with pastry cream or chocolate and are absolutely delicious.
In our case, we bake them and then fill them with a mixture of mayonnaise, tuna, and pickle. But we can say that any savory filling works wonderfully. Finally, we add some cilantro leaves to give them that carrot shape.

We prepare the cone-shaped molds for making the puff pastry. We grease them with oil or butter and set them aside.
We cut strips of puff pastry and roll them around the cone, from the tip to the wide end. If more than one strip is needed, we join them at their ends.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F), using the top and bottom heating elements. Beat the egg well and add a pinch of paprika to give it a more orange color.
Using a brush, lightly brush the surface of the rolled puff pastries . Now you can put them in the oven. Bake them for 12 to 14 minutes, until golden brown.
In a small bowl, add the two cans of well-drained tuna. Finely chop the pickles and add them. Stir in the tablespoons of mayonnaise and mix well.
Once the puff pastries are ready, let them cool slightly before removing them from the mold . Do this very carefully to avoid breaking the pastry, as it will be very delicate.
We fill the puff pastries with the tuna and mayonnaise mixture. Finally, we decorate them with a few sprigs of cilantro.
