Ingredients

Beef

500g Quality Mark beef mince
1 small red onion, finely grated
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
1 1/2 tablespoons sambal oelek (see tips) or your favourite chilli sauce
2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons milk
1 egg, lightly beaten

To assemble

2 sheets frozen pre-rolled butter puff pastry, defrosted
1 egg, lightly beaten with a little milk, for brushing
sesame seeds, for sprinkling

Satay sauce

1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
1/2 cup coconut cream
1/4 cup water
2 teaspoons light soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Method

Makes 16 small or 12 medium-sized rolls

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Lightly grease a large shallow baking tray.

Beef
Place all beef ingredients in a large bowl and mix together. Season.

To assemble
Lightly flour the benchtop and cut each pastry sheet in half. Divide the mince mixture into 4 sausage shapes as long as your pastry. Working with 1 piece of pastry at a time, place 1 portion of the mince mixture slightly off-centre on 1 piece of pastry. Press together and use a fork to seal the edges. Brush with egg wash, then cut into desired size.

Make a small slit in the top of each sausage roll to vent steam. Place the rolls on the baking tray and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Cook for 30-35 minutes, until the pastry is well browned and the mince cooked.

Satay sauce
Place all the sauce ingredients in a small heavy-based saucepan and cook over a low heat. Stir until combined. If the sauce is too thick, add extra cold water until you have the desired consistency.

To serve
Serve sausage rolls with satay sauce.

Sambal oelek is a spicy Southeast Asian chilli sauce. It is available in the international section of your supermarket.
Finely grating the onion eliminates the necessity to cook and soften down before adding cold to the mince.
Make up the sausage rolls ahead and keep in the fridge until ready to cook.
Kids love mince and being rich in protein, iron and zinc, it’s great for them too.
