Thai chicken sausage rolls

Guy Coombes

These Thai chicken sausage rolls are easy to execute and always popular. Make the long rolls well ahead of time and keep in the fridge. They will then be easier to slice into smaller pieces when cold. Then it’s just a matter of placing in a hot oven. Serve straight from the oven when they are hot and the pastry crunchy. If sweet chilli sauce is a little hot for the youngsters, good old tomato sauce will probably be popular.

Ingredients

3	Spring onions, chopped roughly
1 clove	Garlic
1 Tbsp	Fresh ginger, grated
1	Red chilli, seeds removed, sliced
½	Lemons, zested
½ cup	Coriander leaves
½ tsp	Salt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 200C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
2. Place spring onion, garlic, ginger, chilli, lemon, coriander, salt, pepper and chicken mince in a large bowl. Combine really well using a fork or your hands.
3. Lay puff pastry sheets out on a lightly floured bench. Divide mixture between the four pieces and spread in a line at one end.
