Delicious Lamb Pinwheel Recipe


If you fancy trying something new, experimental and elegant here is the meal for you. This will impress your guests at dinner or encourage the kids to learn how to cook. This fun recipe in parts can be a bit tricky but the taste at the end makes it all worth it. I paired this with sweet potato mash and gravy. Yet, the lamb pinwheels would also suit being with new potatoes or salad. Maybe even stir fried spinach and chestnut mushrooms. Whatever takes your fancy!



Ingredients:
- Lamb mince (I bought a 500g pack yet not all of it was used)
- 4 cloves of garlic (chopped up)
- 1 red onion (Sliced and diced into small pieces)
- A lamb stock cube
- Fresh mint (chopped up)
- Puff pastry
- Little bit of corn flour
- Little bit of plain flour
- 1 egg

1) Soften the red onion in a frying pan with olive oil in it then add the chopped garlic.

2) Next, stir in the lamb mince and fry it until it turns brown.

3) If you wish you can drain the oil that will come out of the lamb - yet this is optional.

4) Add some boiling water (I believe I added half a pint) which has lamb stock dissolved into it. Also, add the fresh mint.



5) Fry the lamb for twenty minutes.

6) Thicken the lamb with cornflour and water to make the mince stick as rolling it into the pastry will now be easier.

7) Spray a thin layer of plain flour on a surface and roll out the puff pastry. Make sure it is rectangle shaped and half a pinkie thick. Kind of reminds me of the shape of toast.



8) Next, put a thin layer of the mince mix on top - I didn't end up using all my mince mix.

9) Roll it upwards carefully - this is the tricky and messy bit!



10) Using saw motions cut the roll of lamb mince and pastry an inch at a time. You may want to wait until the lamb is cold as I didn't and the pastry melted inside making it messier. Once you cut an inch off lay it on a greased baking tray.

11) Beat an egg and then spread it over the pastry to get a golden brown colour once cooked.



12) Cook the lamb pinwheels for twenty minutes at 180ÂșC

And then you're done! I hope you enjoy and feel free to comment below if you did!
