Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g Green or brown lentils
- 300 g Sausage meat (pork or chicken)
- 450 g Puff pastry sheets
- 1 medium, finely diced Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic cloves
- 50 g Breadcrumbs
- 1 large, beaten Egg
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse the lentils thoroughly and cook them in a medium saucepan of boiling water for about 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked lentils, sautéed onion and garlic, sausage meat, breadcrumbs, parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets into a thin, even layer, if they aren't pre-rolled.
Divide the lentil and sausage mixture into three equal portions. Form each portion into a long log shape (roughly the same length as the puff pastry).
Cut the puff pastry sheets into strips wide enough to wrap around the logs. Place a log of filling onto each strip and roll the pastry around it, pressing the edge gently to seal.
Brush the seam with a little of the beaten egg to help it seal, then cut the rolls into smaller bite-sized portions (2-3 inches long). Arrange them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the rollettes with the remaining beaten egg mixed with 1 tablespoon of milk to create a golden glaze.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Allow the lentil sausage rollettes to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
