500g chicken breast mince
1 cup wholegrain breadcrumbs (see tip)

Instructions

Stay Awake

1 Preheat oven to 200°C. Line 3 baking trays with baking paper.

2 Place vegetables, mince, breadcrumbs, egg and tomato sauce in a food processor and pulse until well combined but not a complete paste.

3 Lay one pastry sheet on a chopping board and cut in half lengthways. Place one-sixth of chicken mixture along centre of both pieces. Roll up firmly, with seam side facing down. Cut each log into 8 pieces and transfer to tray. Repeat with remaining pastry and filling to fill up trays.

4 Brush sausage rolls with egg wash, then sprinkle evenly with sesame seeds. Bake rolls for 30 minutes or until golden. Cool slightly, then serve with extra tomato sauce.

HFG tip

To make homemade breadcrumbs, toast two slices of wholegrain bread, then process in a food processor to form fine crumbs.

Freeze uncooked sausage rolls after step 3, then cook later.
