Ingredients:

These curried sausage rolls pack a flavorful punch by combining the delightful taste of curry with savory ground beef, fresh vegetables, and flaky puff pastry. Perfect for a family gathering, party appetizer, or even a delicious snack, these rolls are sure to be a hit.
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Grate the zucchini and carrot. Use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to squeeze excess moisture out from the grated zucchini.
2. Mix the Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, grated zucchini, grated carrot, chives, parsley, and curry paste.
- Pour in one of the beaten eggs and mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well-incorporated. This will help bind the filling together.
3. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. Prepare the Puff Pastry:
- Lay out the puff pastry sheets on a clean, flat surface. If the sheets are frozen, let them thaw slightly according to package instructions.
- Cut each puff pastry sheet in half to create 8 smaller rectangular sheets.
5. Fill the Pastry:
- Place a generous amount of the prepared meat mixture (around 2-3 tablespoons) along one edge of each puff pastry rectangle, shaping it into a log.
- Brush the edges of the pastry lightly with the remaining beaten egg to help seal it.
6. Roll the Pastry:
- Roll the pastry over the meat mixture, sealing the edges by pressing gently with your fingers.
- Ensure the seam is on the bottom to keep it from opening during baking.
7. Glaze and Portion the Rolls:
- Brush the top of each rolled pastry with the remaining beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Cut each long roll into 3-4 smaller pieces, depending on how large you want your sausage rolls.
8. Bake:
- Arrange the sausage rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one for even cooking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
9. Serve:
- Allow the sausage rolls to cool for a few minutes on a cooling rack before serving.
- Enjoy them warm, paired with your favorite dipping sauce or as a delightful snack on their own!
Tips:
- For a healthier option, use whole-wheat puff pastry or reduced-fat pastry sheets.
- Ensure the vegetables are finely grated so that they blend seamlessly with the meat mixture.
- Mix the filling well to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
- Brushing the top of the rolls with a beaten egg before baking will give them a beautiful golden-brown color.
- Make sure to preheat the oven to the correct temperature to achieve the ideal crispiness.
- Serve the sausage rolls with a side of yogurt or chutney for a delightful pairing.
These curried sausage rolls are a delicious twist on a classic favorite that will surely impress your family and friends. With their flavorful filling and crispy pastry, they’re perfect for any occasion. Remember to serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce for an extra touch of satisfaction.
