Pumpkin Fetta and Basil Rolls

Crisp little savoury pastries with a tasty pumpkin, fetta and basil filling.
   35 min Serves 16

Ingredients

1 tablespoon oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cups (250g) grated pumpkin
½ cup chopped fresh basil or parsley
200g South Cape Danish Style Fetta
1 egg
2 frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
sesame seeds, for sprinkling, optional

 

Method

  1. Heat oil in a frypan and sauté onion and pumpkin for 5 minutes. Allow to cool.
  2. Mix in crumbled South Cape Danish Fetta, egg and basil. Spread mixture over puff pastry sheets leaving a 2cm border at the far end and roll up. Freeze for 15 minutes to make slicing easier.
  3. Cut each roll into 8 slices. Place cut side down onto a baking tray, allowing room for spreading, and sprinkle with seeds.
  4. Bake in the upper part of the oven at 200°C for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Tips

  1. Other grated vegetables, like sweet potato, carrot, zucchini or a mix of these, can be substituted for the pumpkin.
  2. Assembled rolls can be frozen uncooked and cooked without thawing, with a few extra minutes cooking time.
