"Sausage rolls"
Prep and Cook 35 mins | Makes 72
2 tbsps sesame seeds
1. Preheat the oven to 220 C (200 C fan-forced). Line oven trays with baking paper.
2. Combine onion, breadcrumbs, sausage mince and beef, egg, tomato paste, barbecue sauce and parsley in a large bowl.
3. Cut pastry sheets in half lengthways. Place equal amounts of filling mixture lengthways along centre of each pastry piece (see tip, below); roll each pastry piece, from one wide edge, to enclose filling. Cut each roll into six pieces; place rolls, seam-side down, on trays. Brush with extra egg, sprinkle with sesame seeds.
4. Bake for 25 mins or until golden.
Prep and Cook 50 mins | Serves 4
¼ cup fresh micro or baby mint leaves
1 tbsp chopped fresh mint
1. Preheat the oven to 220 C (200 C fan-forced).
2. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large frying pan; cook onion and garlic, stirring, for 5 mins or until onion has softened. Add lamb; cook, stirring, breaking up the lumps with a wooden spoon, until lamb is browned. Add spices; stir until fragrant. Add rind, juice, stock and tomatoes; cook, stirring, over medium heat until most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat.
3. Cut bread horizontally in half, place on an oven tray. Drizzle halves with remaining oil; bake for 8 mins or until lightly golden.
4. Spoon lamb mixture onto bread halves, pressing evenly, leaving a 1 cm border, sprinkle with pine nuts. Cover with foil; bake for 10 mins. Remove foil, bake for a further 10 mins or until browned lightly.
5. MINTED YOGHURT: Meanwhile, combine ingredients in a small bowl.
6. Finally, serve pizzas cut into thick slices topped with herbs and Minted Yoghurt.
TIP: Pide (pronounced pih-day) is made from wheat and usually topped with sesame seeds and black nigella seeds. To toast pine nuts, place in a small dry frying pan over medium heat; stir frequently until browned lightly. Remove from pan immediately.
Flavour Twists
● Middle Eastern Use minced lamb in place of both minces, 2 tbsps Middle Eastern spice blend instead of barbecue sauce, and coriander instead of parsley.
● Pork and fennel Use minced pork in place of both minces, add ½ tsp celery salt, 2 tsps pounded fennel seeds and chopped dill instead of parsley. Swap fennel seeds for sesame.
