Makes: 29-30 sausage rolls

Prep time: 30 minutes

Cook time: 30-35 minutes

Ingredients

• 5 sheets puff pastry

• 1 kg chicken mince

• 1 large carrot, grated

• 1 medium zucchini, grated

• ½ large onion, finely diced

• 2 garlic cloves, crushed

• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

• 2 tbsp tomato paste

• 1½ cups panko breadcrumbs

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

• 1/4 cup sesame seeds, for topping 

Method

Step 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line two baking trays with baking paper. 

Step 2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken mince, grated carrot, grated zucchini, diced onion, crushed garlic, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, panko breadcrumbs, and salt. Mix everything together until it is well combined.

Step 3. Lay out one sheet of puff pastry on a clean surface. Shape a portion of the filling into a long log along the length of the pastry. Roll the pastry around the filling and seal the edge with a little beaten water. Repeat this process with the remaining pastry sheets and filling. 

Step 4. Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared trays. Generously brush the tops with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Step 5. Bake the sausage rolls in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Allow them to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
