Australian Favourites

Australia Day is on its way, whether you’re planning an alfresco lunch, classic barbecue, cricket in the back yard, cooling off with a pool party or picnic in the park, let’s relax and enjoy the summer sun.

This is a very simple recipe for Sausage Rolls with pork, lamb and some veggies to make them a little bit healthier than your average treat wrapped in pastry. You can freeze them in advance and are fun to make with kids. For are vegetarian option replace the pork and lamb with some spinach and ricotta, which is also delicious.

Sausage Rolls
500g pork mince
200g lamb mince
1 onion, finely diced
1 clove garlic, finely diced
1 carrot, grated
1 zucchini, grated
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
1 cup breadcrumbs (I keep crusts, freeze them then wizz in food processor)
Sea salt & cracked pepper
1 tsp curry powder
1 egg
3 sheets puff pastry
sesame seeds to sprinkle on top before baking

Makes 30

1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Line baking trays with baking paper.
2. Mix both minces, onion, garlic, carrot, zucchini, parsley, breadcrumbs, curry powder, salt and pepper together. Whisk 1 egg and add half to mince mixture, keep the rest to brush pastry.
3. Slice pastry sheets in half. Roll mince mixture into a log and lay out in centre of pastry. You'll need 6 portions of mince to fill pastry sheets.
4. Brush edges with egg and enclose filling. Slice into 5 pieces and place on baking trays. Brush with egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
5. Bake for 20 minutes, reduce heat to 180°C, and cook for a further 10 minutes until golden.
