These tasty pastry twists are great served as finger food at parties or as part of a sharing platter! We love them for watching the game with mates and always with a little pot of mango chutney on the side for dunking.

Ingredients

Pastry kebabs

300g Quality Mark lamb mince

or beef

1 small onion

grated

1-2 garlic clove

crushed

1 tsp fresh ginger

grated

2 tsp green chilli and coriander paste

½ tsp ground cumin

½ tsp salt

1 Tbsp vegetable oil

2-3 ready-rolled puff pastry sheets

Method

For the twists

Put the mince, onion, garlic, ginger, green chilli & coriander paste, cumin and salt in a large bowl, then mix with a wooden spoon or by hand until thoroughly combined.

Divide the mixture into small sausage-like kebab shapes about 8cm long and 3cm diameter.

Heat the oil in a shallow frying pan until hot and then add kebabs and cook for approximately 6–8 minutes until browned.

Start Timer

Keep turning the kebabs to ensure an even colour.

Remove from heat and drain the kebabs on a paper towel to remove any excess oil. Set aside to cool.

Prepare the pastry, by cutting the individual sheets lengthways into 1-cm wide strips. Take one strip and wind it around a cooled kebab and place on a foil-lined baking tray. Repeat until all kebabs have a pastry twist and then place the tray in the freezer for approximately 15–20 minutes to set (or keep frozen and stored for up to 3 months).

Start Timer

Preheat the oven to 230°C.

Remove the tray from the freezer and brush the pastry with a beaten egg and then bake for approximately 10 minutes or until pastry is golden. Serve warm.
