Minced Lamb and Puha Sausage Rolls

Minced Lamb and Puha Sausage Rolls

Eleanor Craig
Inspired by the rustic cuisine of New Zealand, these Minced Lamb and Puha Sausage Rolls are a modern twist on a classic favorite. Combining the robust flavor of lamb with the earthy, slightly bitter taste of puha—a traditional Maori green—these rolls are both hearty and sophisticated, perfect for a casual gathering or a gourmet starter.

  •  
    1 cup puha leaves - finely chopped, washed thoroughly
  • Ripe yellow onion on a white background1 small onion - finely chopped
  • garlic2 cloves garlic - minced
  • ground cumin2 teaspoons cumin
  • Heap of dried coriander seed and ground coriander on white background1 teaspoon ground coriander
  •  
    2 sheets puff pastry - thawed
  • chicken egg1 large egg - beaten, for glazing
  • wooden bowl of salt1 pinch salt - to taste
  • Ground black pepper pile, paths, top1 pinch ground black pepper - freshly ground, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
  • In a large bowl, combine the minced lamb, puha, onion, garlic, cumin, and coriander. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to ensure they are even. Cut each pastry sheet in half to create four rectangles.
  • Divide the lamb mixture evenly across each rectangle and shape it into a long roll down the center of each pastry strip. Roll the pastry over the filling and brush the edge with beaten egg to seal.
  • Place the rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg for a golden finish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
  • Allow to cool slightly before cutting each roll into 4-6 pieces. Serve warm.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the lamb mixture. If you can't find puha, substitute with spinach or kale. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free pastry sheets available from specialty stores.
