Provided by JustJanS

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 40m

Yield 24 sausage rolls

Number Of Ingredients 12

200 g feta cheese, crumbled
1 small onion, finely chopped
200 g frozen spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry
1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs
2 lightly beaten eggs
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
1 tablespoon chopped of fresh mint
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
salt and pepper (lots of pepper)
2 sheets puff pastry, defrosted and cut in half
2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200c.
  • Mix all ingredients together (except pastry sheets).
  • Lay pastry sheets (with plastic attached) out on your counter.
  • Fill a large piping bag (no nozzle) with the mix and squeeze out a long line of mix down the long edge of the pastry-about 1/2 an inch in from that edge.
  • No piping bag? Divide mix in 4 and spoon this along the long edge.
  • Roll up, peeling the plastic away as you roll.
  • Seal the inner edge with a little water.
  • Cut each of these rolls into three, then cut each smaller roll ALMOST through in the middle (leave the bottom intact). When they are cooked, I cut them right through to make a bite sized roll, but cooking them this way keeps them moister.
  • Place on a baking tray, brush each with a little milk, then cook in pre heated oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown on top and cooked through.

SPINACH ROLLS WITH PUFF PASTRY



Spinach Rolls with Puff Pastry image

A vegetarian version of mini sausage rolls but made with a spinach and feta filling. I used frozen spinach because it was a better buy than fresh at the time but the equivalent amount of fresh spinach, chopped and wilted, would do the job.
