Sausage Rolls


Welcome back to Mums in the Kitchen!  It's been a crazy Christmas week with lots of eating and socialising, so the blog has been a bit neglected.  But never fear, I'm back in the swing of things now :-)

So I'm kicking off with a great holiday recipe that's sure to please the whole family.  These sausage rolls are delicious as a weeknight meal, but also can be cut into small pieces to serve at a party.  I kind of experimented and made these my own and they turned out beautifully!

Ingredients
500g pork and veal mince (you can buy this combined at the supermarket - if they don't have any, use beef)
1 carrot, grated finely
1 zucchini, grated finely
1 onion, grated finely
1 egg
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons tomato sauce (or barbecue, or use one tablespoon of each)
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried herbs
3 sheets puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, beaten, extra

Method
Preheat oven to 200 degrees fan-forced.

Mix mince, carrot, zucchini, onion, egg, breadcrumbs, sauce, paprika and herbs in a bowl.  Use hands to combine well.

Cut each sheet of puff pastry in half.  Place a line of mince mixture along the long edge of each sheet.  Roll up tightly and evenly, then cut in half.  Place rolls, seam side down, on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

Brush with extra egg, then bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.  Serve with salad.
