Healthy Chicken & Apricot Sausage Rolls
An Original Recipe by Not Quite Nigella
- 500g/1 pound chicken breast mince
- 1 onion, chopped finely
- 1 carrot, chopped finely
- 1/2 head of broccoli, chopped finely
- 2/3 cup of dried apricots, chopped finely
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 sheets of reduced fat puff pastry
- 1 egg, whisked for egg wash
- Sesame seeds to sprinkle
Variation: try this with turkey mince and dried cranberries or use golden sultanas
Step 1 - Preheat oven to 200C/400F. Line two large trays with baking parchment. Take out the sheets of puff pastry to defrost.
Step 2 - In a bowl mix the mince, onion, carrot, broccoli, apricots, egg, salt and pepper. I put them all in a food processor and whizzed it together. Divide each square of pastry in half and with a teaspoon, place the filling to one side of the pastry. Roll up and seal the pastry edges gently with a little of the eggwash.
Step 3 - Place on the baking tray and cut clashes in them. Brush with egg wash (I do this twice to get a nice golden shade) and then sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 25 minutes. Serve with tomato sauce or a chilli tomato sauce.
