Minced Lamb and Veggie Sausage Rolls
These minced lamb and veggie sausage rolls offer a delightful twist on traditional sausage rolls, combining juicy minced lamb with a colorful medley of vegetables wrapped in flaky pastry. Inspired by traditional British fare but with a Mediterranean twist, they make for a hearty appetizer or snack.
Ingredients
Filling Ingredients
500 g ground lamb (minced lamb) - preferably organic
1 cup carrot - grated
1 cup zucchini - grated and excess water squeezed out
1 small onion - finely chopped
2 cloves garlic - minced
1 tsp cumin - freshly ground preferred
1 tsp ground coriander - freshly ground preferred
1 tbsp parsley - fresh, chopped
1 tbsp mint - fresh, chopped
Pastry
- 2 sheets puff pastry - store-bought or homemade, thawed if frozen
1 large egg - beaten, for egg wash
1 pinch salt - to taste
1 pinch ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
- In a large bowl, combine the minced lamb, grated carrot, grated zucchini, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, chopped parsley, chopped mint, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth any creases. Divide each sheet in half to create four rectangles in total.
- Lay a portion of the lamb and veggie mixture along one long edge of each pastry rectangle, leaving a little edge to seal. Roll each pastry over the filling, pressing the edges to seal firmly. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a rich golden finish.
- Place the rolls seam-side down onto a lined baking tray. Cut slits across the tops with a sharp knife to allow steam to escape. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow to cool slightly before slicing each roll into bite-sized pieces to serve.
Notes
For an added flavor twist, try adding a hint of smoked paprika or a touch of finely diced bell peppers to the filling.
