Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large Carrot, grated
- 1 medium Zucchini, grated
- 100 grams Baby spinach, chopped
- 150 grams Fetta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 large Egg, lightly beaten
- 3 sheets Puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 1 large Egg, for egg wash
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line two baking trays with baking paper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the grated carrot and zucchini, and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the chopped baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked vegetable mixture, crumbled fetta cheese, chopped parsley, and the lightly beaten egg. Season with salt and black pepper, and mix well.
Place one sheet of thawed puff pastry on a clean surface. Cut it in half horizontally to form two rectangles.
Spoon a line of the vegetable mixture along one long edge of each rectangle, leaving about 2cm of space at the edge.
Roll the pastry tightly over the filling to form a log, sealing the edge with a bit of water. Repeat with the remaining pastry sheets and filling.
Cut each log into four equal pieces and arrange them on the prepared baking trays, seam-side down.
Brush the tops of the rolls with the second beaten egg to create an egg wash. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
