Ingredients

  • ½ cup spicy chutney or relish
  • 2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 x sheets of puff pastry

  3. Line 2 baking trays with non-stick baking paper. Cut pastry sheets in half.
  4. Divide the mince mixture into 4 portions and shape each portion into a 25cm log. Arrange sausage logs along the centres of pastry sheets.
  5. Brush 1 long side of the pastry with the egg. Roll up to enclose the filling. Cut each roll evenly into 5 pieces. Place rolls, seam-side down, on the lined trays.
