Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line two large baking trays with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine pork mince, grated onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, and sage. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well with your hands.

  3. 3

    Cut each pastry sheet in half vertically.

  4. 4

    Divide the meat mixture into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a long log and place down the center of each pastry half.

  5. 5

    Brush one edge of the pastry with egg wash. Roll the pastry over the meat to enclose it, overlapping slightly at the seam. Place seam-side down.

  6. 6

    Brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle with seeds.

  7. 7

    Cut each long roll into 4 small rolls. Place on the baking trays.

  8. 8

    Bake for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is golden and the meat is cooked through.

  9. 9

    Serve warm with tomato sauce.

Tips, Variations and Storage

Tips: Grating the onion ensures it incorporates perfectly into the meat without large chunks. Using breadcrumbs helps keep the meat moist. Variations: Add grated apple for sweetness or a pinch of chili flakes for heat. Storage: Can be made ahead and kept in the fridge for 24 hours before baking. Also freezes very well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use sausage meat instead of pork mince?

Yes, but you may need to adjust the salt as sausage meat is already seasoned.
