Savoury Pastry Rolls

By Moushira Abdel-Malek

---

Serves 24

Ingredients:

24 puff pastry sheets (almost thawed)

4 medium potatoes (cooked, mashed)

250 gms spinach leaves

3 or 4 sprigs of fresh coriander

200 gms smoked cold cuts (squared into pastry size)

1 cup grated tasty cheese

1 egg (lightly beaten)

2 tbsp butter (softened)

Salt + pepper

Method:

Sauté spinach and coriander in a tiny piece of butter. Cover and leave to wilt over low heat for a few minutes. Remove into a strainer to get rid of excessive waters. Press by a back of a large spoon to squeeze out any moisture. Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Combine potato, butter, salt and pepper in a bowl. Mix well to combine. Place a spoonful of the potato along edge of one pastry piece. Top with half a spoonful of spinach, a piece of cold cuts and a spoonful of cheese. Roll up, securing sides. Repeat with remaining pastry sheets and fillings. Place onto lightly greased baking trays. Bake until puffed and goldened. Serve warm.
