Flaky Meat Roll (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
Premade puff pastry, ready to unroll (1 sheet).
02 -
Two minced garlic cloves.
03 -
Finely chopped small onion (1 piece).
04 -
About 300g of ground meat, like beef or a combo of beef and lamb.
05 -
A tablespoon of olive oil.
06 -
Cheese of your choice, grated (Emmental, Gruyère, or mozzarella, 150g).
07 -
One beaten egg for brushing.
08 -
Sesame or poppy seeds, optional.
09 -
A teaspoon of smoked paprika.
10 -
Half a teaspoon of ground cumin.
11 -
A pinch of salt and ground black pepper.
# Instructions:
01 -
Warm a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet on medium heat. Toss in the onion and garlic, stirring until they soften up nicely.
02 -
Add the ground meat to the skillet along with the cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook it through, stirring often, until the meat turns golden-brown and fully done. Let it cool off once cooked.
03 -
Lay out the puff pastry sheet. Spread the cooled meat mixture evenly across, leaving a 2cm gap along the edges. Next, sprinkle your grated cheese over the meat.
04 -
Gently roll up the pastry into a tight log, starting from one of the longer edges. Seal the ends with a bit of water, then place it on a lined baking tray.
05 -
Brush the rolled pastry with the beaten egg. Sprinkle on some seeds if you'd like. Bake at 200°C for 20-25 minutes, taking it out once it turns golden brown and flaky.
