- 500g Ritchies chicken mince
- 2/3 cup chives, packed and finely chopped
- 2/3 cup mature cheddar or tasty cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon fine salt
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 500g home made rough puff pastry (see recipe link) or 3 sheets pre made butter puff pastry
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- to decorate
- 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
Method
- Preheat oven to 180oC. In a large bowl add the Ritchies chicken mince, chopped chives, grated cheese, salt and pepper and mix together thoroughly.
- (If your making the pastry from scratch, chill the pastry for half an hour before using it and roll it out to 1/3 cm thick sheets. Then follow the instructions below).
- Line a large baking tray with greaseproof paper.
- Work with one sheet of pastry at a time. On a large lightly floured board using a very sharp knife, cut the pastry into 15 x 30 cm long rectangles. Spread a line of the chicken cheese and chive mixture about 4cms wide and high down the centre of each piece of pastry.
- Dampen one edge of the pastry and roll the pastry over the chicken mixture. Press the edges together to seal them and then cut each long section into 6-7cm lengths and place on the lined baking tray. Then repeat with the rest of the pastry and chicken mixture.
- Glaze each roll by brushing with beaten egg. Scatter with a few sesame seeds, then bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until cooked through and golden brown.
- Serve warm with tomato or chilli sauce.
Makes about 12. Preparation time 30 minutes (add 40 minutes if you make the pastry from scratch). Cooking time 20 minutes.
