Pork and Apple Sausage Rolls

Stage 1:

2 tsp olive oil
1 large carrot, peeled & grated
½ large fennel bulb, trimmed & grated
1 green apple, grated

Stage 2:

500g extra lean pork mince
¾ cup fresh wholegrain breadcrumbs
1 egg
1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tbsp dijon mustard

Stage 3:

2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 tsp fennel seeds, crushed
1 egg

01 Preheat oven to 200°C.

02 Heat oil in a large frypan over medium high heat. Add remaining stage 1 ingredients and cook for 8 minutes, or until liquid has evaporated.
