Savoury Minced Pork Roll

The magic of puff pastry is that the fat between the thin layers turns to steam during baking, pushing the dough apart (physical leavening) to create a crispy, leafy structure. Paired with a juicy meat filling, it makes an elegant yet simple dinner that is excellent both hot and cold.

Instructions

1

Sauté the onion in the oil, add the meat, and fry until crumbly. Season (salt, pepper, paprika, garlic).

Tip: Evaporate the juices completely; the ragu should be 'dry', otherwise it will make the pastry soggy.
2

Let the filling cool COMPLETELY. Stir in the chopped parsley.

Tip: Hot filling would melt the fat layers of the pastry before baking, preventing it from puffing up.
3

Roll out the pastry, spread the meat over it, and roll it up tightly. Seal the ends.

Tip: Prick the top with a fork so steam can escape.
4

Brush with beaten egg and bake at 200°C for approx. 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

Tip: High heat is needed for the pastry to puff.
