Recipe type: Appetiser; Main

Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

5 sheets of pre-made puff pastry
500 grams lean pork mince
½ small carrot - peeled and grated
¼ sweet potato - peeled and grated
½ zucchini - peeled and grated
handful of green beans - chopped into small pieces
½ corn cob - kernals cut off the cob
1 cup of finely chopped greens - I used a mix from the garden of spinach, kale, and bok choy
1 egg - whisked lightly
1 tablespoon Kecap Manis (sweet soy sauce)
¼ teaspoon sesame oil

Prior to adding to the oven

Olive oil for basting
sesame seeds for sprinkling

Instructions

Remove the pastry from the freezer to defrost
To a bowl add all ingredients and stir well to combine
Set the oven to heat to 170 degrees
Once the pastry has defrosted cut each sheet in half
Add the filling mixture in a line across each sheet
Roll the pastry to enclose the mixture
Place on a lined baking tray
Brush each roll with oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds
Cut each roll into 4 even sized pieces
Place tray into middle shelf of oven to cook for 30 minutes until golden brown
Cool on a wire rack
Serve with sweet chilli sauce and a side salad or side dish if this is a main meal for your family

Notes

Serving size is based on serving these with a salad or side dish.
They make a great work lunch or food for entertaining
If your family enjoys coriander, add fresh coriander leaves to the ingredient list
Ensure that you do not overfill the pastry with filling. It should be able to be completely rolled so that that joining edge sits under each roll.
Cut to size prior to placing in the oven to bake
These freeze well
Make double if entertaining as they are very addictive!
