Where to buy Carême Pastry

Ingredients

1 (375g packet) Careme All Butter Puff Pastry, defrosted
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 brown onion, finely chopped
1 celery stalk, finely chopped
2 tsp fennel seeds, toasted (plus more to garnish)
750g regular pork mince (not lean)
¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
3 tbsp milk
1 tbsp thyme leaves
1 egg, whisked
Salt and pepper, to taste.

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C fan-forced (220°C non-fan). Line a large tray with baking paper.
In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with milk and stir until combined. Set aside.
In a large frypan over medium heat, heat the oil and sauté the garlic, onion and celery until translucent. Set aside in a large bowl to cool for 5 minutes.
Once cooled, add the pork mince, soaked breadcrumbs, fennel seeds and thyme to the onion mix and season with salt and pepper.
Unroll the pastry sheet on a large, lined baking sheet and place the mince mixture in an even log down the centre of the pastry, all the way to the ends. Roll the pastry over the filling and pinch the ends together, then crimp the edge with the tines of a fork to seal.
Brush the sausage roll with egg, sprinkle with fennel seeds and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and the filling is cooked.
