INGREDIENTS

  • Pork Mince: 1kg of ground pork for a rich, savory filling.
  • French Onion Soup Mix: 35g to add a burst of flavor.
  • Tomato Ketchup: 1 tablespoon to add a hint of sweetness.
  • Worcestershire Sauce: 2 tablespoons for an umami boost.
  • Dijon Mustard: 2 tablespoons to add a subtle tang.
  • Puff Pastry: 3 sheets, defrosted, for a flaky outer layer.
  • Egg: 1, used for sealing and glazing the pastry.
  • Milk: 1 tablespoon, mixed with the egg for brushing.

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2:
In a large bowl, combine the pork mince, French onion soup mix, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Season with pepper and mix well.
Step 3:
Cut each sheet of puff pastry in half. Shape a portion of the pork mixture into a log along the length of each pastry half.
Step 4:
Whisk together the egg and milk. Brush the pastry edges with the egg wash to seal.
Step 5:
Roll the pastry over the pork mixture and press the edges to seal. Brush the tops with the remaining egg wash for a golden finish.
Step 6:
Using a serrated knife, slice each log into 6 to 8 pieces. Place them on the prepared baking tray, ensuring space between each roll.
Step 7:
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve hot or at room temperature.
