Chicken Mince and Sauerkraut Rolls
This dish is a delightful fusion of Eastern European tradition and modern flavor, featuring tender chicken mince and tangy sauerkraut enveloped in crisp, golden-baked dough. It's a comforting, aromatic treat that brings familial warmth and culinary exploration to your table.
Ingredients
500 grams ground chicken (minced chicken) - preferably free-range
1 cup sauerkraut - drained
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion - finely chopped
1 clove garlic - minced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika- 1 package puff pastry - thawed
1 large egg - beaten, for egg wash
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper - freshly ground
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent and aromatic, about 5 minutes.
- Add chicken mince to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned all over, approximately 7 minutes.
- Stir in the sauerkraut and smoked paprika. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 3 minutes until everything is well combined.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface. Divide the chicken mixture evenly, place it along one edge of the pastry, and roll it up tightly.
- Slice the roll into 4 equal pieces and place them on a lined baking tray. Brush each roll with the beaten egg.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky.
Notes
Consider adding a pinch of caraway seeds to the filling for an authentic Eastern European flavor. For a lighter option, replace puff pastry with phyllo dough.
