Healthy(ish) Sausage Rolls

So there might be no such thing as an actual “healthy sausage roll” but these contain a whole lot of veggies, so in my opinion, that counteracts any deviousness from the pastry in which they’re encased!!!

I made these for Dash’s first birthday party, and they were loved by both babies and adults alike (although Dash would much prefer to eat wrapping paper, as pictured below)

Ingredients:

• 500 grams beef mince
• 1 carrot (grated)
• 1 zucchini (grated)
• 1 red onion (diced)
• 2 cloves garlic
• olive oil
• frozen puff pastry
• 3 eggs
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 2 handfuls breadcrumbs

Method

1. Sautee onions in olive oil and garlic
2. Combine mince meat, carrot, zucchini, sauteed onion, 2 eggs and the breadcrumbs in a large bowl.
3. Roll out puff pastry – cut each sheet into two large rectangles.  Spoon a long strong of mince mixture in a vertical line, and roll.
4. Cut rolls to desired size (I did about an inch each)
5. Combine remaining egg and milk in a bowl – brush outside of pastry with mix (this will encourage browning and give a glossy appearance).
6. Bake for approximately 35 minutes or until golden brown
