Chatelaine Triple Tested

These bite-sized snacks are perfect for New Year's entertaining or a post-holiday recess.

Ingredients

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 2 jarred roasted peppers, drained and chopped

  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped

  • 2 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1 1/2 tsp cumin

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 450 g lean ground beef

  • 450-g pkg puff pastry, thawed

  • 1 egg

  • 2/3 cup crumbled feta

  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley

  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds, crushed

  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 egg yolk

  • 1 tsp water

  • 2 tsp poppy or sesame seeds

  • pomegranate molasses, optional

  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt

Instructions

  • POSITION rack in lower third of oven, then preheat to 425F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment.

  • WHIRL onion, peppers, garlic, paprika, cumin and salt in a food processor until finely chopped. Add beef and pulse until combined.

  • HEAT a large frying pan over medium-high. Add beef mixture and cook, stirring until no longer pink, 5 to 6 min. Drain in a strainer set over a bowl, stirring occasionally to cool, about 5 min. Refrigerate until cool, 30 min. Discard fat from the bowl and add beef mixture.

  • ROLL 1 puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to 12 × 10 in. (It’s important to get pastry to this size.)  Cut pastry lengthwise to get 2 long rectangles and transfer to prepared sheet. Repeat with remaining roll and refrigerate.

  • STIR egg, feta, parsley, almonds, lemon zest and juice into beef mixture, then divide into 4 portions. Spread 1 portion lengthwise down centre of a pastry rectangle, leaving a 1-in. border.

  • STIR yolk with water and brush edges of pastry. Fold long side over mixture and roll until seam-side is down. Press edges to seal. Repeat with remaining pastry and filling;  place 4 sausage rolls on the sheet. Brush with the egg wash and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Refrigerate for 15 min.

  • BAKE until puffed and browned, about 25 min. Cool on sheet for 10 min. Cut into bite-sized pieces. Drizzle with pomegranate molasses and serve with Greek yogurt.
