A delightful twist on the classic Aussie sausage roll, perfect for gatherings or a comforting snack.
Preheat your oven to 200°C and line two baking trays with baking paper.
Lining the trays ensures easy cleanup and prevents sticking.
Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat, then add the chopped onion and grated carrot. Cook until the onion is soft.
Stir frequently to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked vegetables, tomato sauce, chopped parsley, ground sausage, beef mince, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Use your hands to mix for a more even distribution of ingredients.
Cut each sheet of puff pastry in half. Place a portion of the filling along the center of each piece.
Keep the pastry cold to make it easier to handle.
Roll the pastry over the filling to enclose it, then cut each roll into three pieces.
Seal the edges with a bit of water to prevent them from opening during baking.
Place the rolls on the prepared trays and brush them with milk.
Brushing with milk gives the rolls a golden, shiny finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Rotate the trays halfway through baking for even browning.
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Pair with a tangy tomato chutney for an extra burst of flavor.
