- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 medium (150g) brown onion, grated coarsely
- 2 slices stale white bread, crusts removed
- 400 gram premium beef mince
- 250 gram chevups (low-fat skinless sausages)

Method
Family sausage rolls with a healthier twist
- 1Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced). Line a large oven tray with baking paper.
- 2Heat the oil in a small frying pan; cook the onion until soft.
- 3Dip the bread quickly into a small bowl of cold water; squeeze bread; discard water.
- 4Place the onion and bread in a large bowl with mince, sausage, carrot, paste and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well until combined.
- 5Cut pastry sheets in half lengthways. Divide mince mixture into quarters. Spoon each quarter of mixture along centre of each pastry piece. Turn one long side of pastry over mince mixture; brush pastry flap with a little of the egg. Turn over other long side of pastry to enclose mince mixture.
- 6Cut each roll in half. Place rolls, seam-side down, on tray; brush with egg. Bake rolls for about 25 minutes or until browned and cooked through.
- 7Stand sausage rolls 5 minutes before serving with tomato sauce and salad, if desire.
