Ingredients
- 500 g 1 lb. sausage mince
- 1 large onion peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 heaped teaspoon of mixed herbs
- 1/4 cup of fresh breadcrumbs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 4 thick slices of white bread crusts removed
- Warm water
- 6 sheets of ready-rolled puff pastry
- 1 egg beaten
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Allow the puff pastry sheets to thaw to room temperature.
- Peel and roughly chop the onion. Use a food processor to finely chop or grate the onion.
- In a bowl, combine the sausage mince, chopped onion, mixed herbs, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.
- Remove the crusts from the bread and place them in a separate bowl. Add enough warm water to cover the bread and let it stand for 5 minutes.
- Drain off the excess water from the bread and gently squeeze it to remove as much water as possible.
- Add the bread to the sausage mince mixture and mix thoroughly.
- Take a sheet of puff pastry and use a dessertspoon to place a strip of the mince mixture along one edge.
- Roll the edge of the pastry over the filling, continuing to roll until the filling is completely enclosed.
- Cut along the edge of the pastry to separate the roll from the remaining pastry.
- Repeat steps 8-10 with the remaining pastry and mince mixture.
- Lightly flatten the rolls using the back of a knife at 1 cm intervals, then cut them into 2-inch (5 cm) lengths.
- Place the rolls onto a lined baking tray and brush them with beaten egg.
- Bake the rolls at 200°C for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 180°C and cook for a further 10 minutes or until golden brown.
