Ingredients
Filling
- 150 g streaky bacon, finely minced
- 500 g pork mince (not lean)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small brown onion, finely chopped
- 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
- 2 tsp fennel seeds, toasted (optional)
- 40 g panko breadcrumbs (approx. ¾ cup)
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp salt
- Black pepper, to taste
- ½ tbsp olive oil
To Bake & Serve
- 2½ sheets puff pastry, thawed and halved
- 1 egg, lightly whisked (for brushing)
- Lana’s Garden Rhubarb Sauce, to serve
Method
- Sauté: Heat olive oil in a non-stick frypan over medium-high heat. Sauté garlic, onion and celery for 2 minutes. Add bacon and cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- Mix: In a large bowl, combine the cooled mixture with pork mince, fennel seeds, breadcrumbs, egg, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands until well combined.
- Fill & Roll: Lay out a strip of pastry with the long edge facing you. Place 1/5 of the filling along the centre and shape it into a tight, compact log. Brush one long edge with egg, then roll to seal, placing seam-side down. Repeat with remaining filling and pastry.
- Chill (optional): For neater cutting, refrigerate the rolled logs for 1 hour.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 180°C (fan-forced). Cut each log into 4 equal pieces (or 2 for larger rolls), brush tops with egg, sprinkle with sesame seeds and place on lined baking trays. Bake for 30–35 minutes, rotating trays halfway, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Cool slightly and enjoy warm with Lana’s Garden Rhubarb Sauce for dipping.
