If you are anything like me, then you are already trying to think of new and interesting goodies the kids can have in their lunch box, which is on the healthy side, but will make them happy too.
I have decided to cook a new lunch box /after school snack each week that I can freeze, so there is always a selection of healthy(ish) food for lunch boxes or when friends pop over. This is the start of my baking adventures!
Ingredients
- 1 carrot
- ½ – 1 zucchini
- ½ red onion
- bunch of parsley
- 500g chicken skinless boneless chicken thigh
- 70 g fresh wholemeal breadcrumbs (or two slices of bread to be made into breadcrumbs)
- 1 egg (plus 1 extra egg lightly beaten)
- 5 sheets frozen puff pastry
- Sesame Seeds
Method
Place chicken and parsley into thermomix bowl and in mince 10 seconds on reverse speed 8. Repeat if needed.
Add carrot, zucchini and onion and chop 3 seconds on speed 5
Add minced chicken, breadcrumbs and egg and combine for 20 seconds on reverse speed 5
Place just thawed puff pastry sheets on a bench and cut in half.
Divide chicken mixture into 5, and then place half lengthwise along the centre of each piece, and repeat with other side.
Fold over pastry to make a roll, and ensure seam is underneath. Repeat with remaining pastry and filling
Cut rolls in half and then into thirds (so you have 6 small sausage rolls from each roll)
Place rolls on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Cut a slit into each roll and brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds (if using)
Bake for 25 – 30 minutes until rolls are lightly browned
