I was looking for something new to do with mince myself, and found this. I can't see that I've posted it on this thread before. It's very filling.

MINCED MEAT ROLL

Makes 1 large roll for 2 people or 2 individual ones

INGREDIENTS

1 sheet (½ a packet) of frozen ready rolled puff pastry
1 slice of bread
1 clove of garlic
½ an onion
1 tablespoon of dried parsley
¼ of a teaspoon of ground black pepper
250g of minced meat
1 beef stock cube
1 egg
Some milk
Some oil
Some more milk

DEFROSTING

Defrost the frozen pastry according to the instructions on the packet.

METHOD

Crumble the bread into breadcrumbs. Peel the garlic and chop it into tiny pieces. Peel the onion, cut it in half, chop one half into tiny pieces and save the other half.

Put the breadcrumbs, garlic, onion, parsley and pepper into a bowl. Mix thoroughly. Add the minced beef. Crumble in the stock cube. Mix thoroughly. Break the egg into the bowl and pick out any bits of shell. Mix thoroughly.

Unroll the pastry. If you are making two small rolls, cut it in half and divide the meat mixture. Put the meat mixture on the middle of the pastry in a sausage shape. Pull the pastry over the top, so it overlaps. Moisten the edges and ends with some milk and gently press them together.

Rub some oil onto a baking tray. Put the roll(s) on the tray. Brush the pastry with some more milk, which will make it come out of the oven shiny. Make a hole in the top of the pastry, so the steam can get out as it cooks.

Cook in a preheated oven at 200°C, 400°F, gas mark 6 for 30 minutes.

ADDITIONS & ALTERNATIVES

Use minced beef, lamb, pork or turkey.

You can make a vegetarian version, with minced Quorn or any other mince substitute, and a vegetable stock cube.

Use mixed herbs instead of parsley.

Out of curiosity as I keep seeing it mentioned on this board, how do you make stovies with mince? Traditionally here, or in my family anyways, stovies is made with sausage, usually lorne not links.
