Pumpkin, Feta and Pine Nut Rolls
These are very tasty party pass arounds, and they are suitable for vegetarians too.
Makes:
48 bite size sausage rolls
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 1/2 butternut pumpkin, peeled, cut into chunks
- 1 large onion, cut into quarters
- oil, for drizzling
- 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
- 200g feta cheese (smooth Danish-style), crumbled
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 4 sheets frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
- milk, for brushing
- chia or poppy seeds, for sprinkling
Method
Place pumpkin and onion on roasting tray, drizzle with oil and roast at 200°C for 20 minutes until golden. Using a fork, mash the pumpkin in a bowl. Finely chop the onion and add to the pumpkin. Mix in pine nuts, feta, egg and rosemary. Cut one puff pastry sheet in half to make 2 rectangles. Place spoonfuls of mixture along the long side of each rectangle. Roll up to enclose and form a roll. Cut each into 6 pieces (or longer if desired) and place on a baking tray. Repeat with remaining pastry and mixture. Brush with milk, sprinkle with seeds and bake at 200°C for 15-20 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Serve hot.
Tips
The assembled and cut rolls may be frozen prior ahead, and cooked from frozen allowing for a little extra cooking time.
