Ingredients

If you don't have the Cookidoo app for your Thermomix follow the recipe below:

1 clove garlic
80 g (½ cup) onions quartered
15 g (1 tbsp) olive oil
400 g (0.9 lb) good quality pork sausagemeat broken in pieces
75 g (2.7 oz) roasted red peppers preserved, drained, sliced (1cm)
30 g (⅓ cups) breadcrumbs
1 tbsp tomato purée
2 medium eggs 1 mixed with 1 tbsp water
0.5 tsp smoked paprika
0.5 tsp dried chilli flakes (optional)
0.25 tsp ground black pepper
0.5 tsp fine sea salt
plain flour for dusting
325 g (12 oz) ready-rolled puff pastry

Instructions

Place the garlic, onions and oil in the mixing bowl then chop 3 seconds/speed 5. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with the spatula then sauté 4 minutes/100C/speed slow (spoon symbol).
Add the sausagemeat, red peppers, breadcrumbs, tomato purée, 1 egg, paprika, chilli flakes (if using), salt and pepper then mix 15 seconds/reverse/speed 3.
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a baking tray with baking paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to a rectangle (30cm x 35cm) then place on the prepared tray.
Shape the meat mixture into a log and place in the centre of the pastry, lengthways down the middle, leaving 2cm at each end. With one end of the log nearest to you, use a sharp knife to cut 2cm to 3cm strips at a slight angle away from meat (starting 2cm from meat) along the length of the log. Remove the corners for a neater finish at each end.
Fold the pastry over both ends then brush the pastry strips with egg wash and fold alternate strips of pastry from each side (creating a plait effect) over the meat. Trim any excess pastry then brush all over with egg wash. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until crisp and golden. Serve warm or cold, cut in slices.

Notes

Vegetarian option - replace the sausage meat with a mix of spiced lentils, mushrooms and grated cheese.

Herbs and spices - try adding fresh parsley, oregano or thyme for added aroma. Lemon zest will add brightness.

Add cheese - incorporate grated manchego or cheddar, or crumbled feta cheese into the filling for added creaminess.

Toppings - sprinkle sesame seeds, poppy seeds or smoked paprika on the pastry before baking for extra flavour and a decorative touch.
