These Silverbeet, Basil and Feta Rolls are a quick and easy lunch or dinner. Perfect for 'green' fussy kids and delicious too.
Filling
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 onion/s - finely diced
- 1 clove/s garlic - finely diced
- 1 bunch/s silverbeet -washed, dried and finely chopped
- 1 bunch/s fresh basil leaves - approx. 2 handfuls & finely chopped
- ground black pepper - to taste
- ¼ tsp sea salt - or to taste
- 1 lemon/s - large (zest)
- 1 egg/s - beaten
- 150 g feta cheese - crumbled
- 60 g rolled / flaked quinoa (or rolled oats can be used instead) (½ cup)
- 1 Carême All Butter Puff Pastry (I love their wholemeal spelt)
- 2 tbsp milk (of choice)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds - black
Preheat your oven to 200°C/395°F (fan-forced).
In a large pan or skillet sauté the onion and garlic in the butter for a minute.
Add the silverbeet and cook for another minute or so stirring continually until it has just started to wilt.
Remove from the heat and stir in the basil. Pop this into a food processor, leaving behind any excess liquid.
Season with black pepper and sea salt and add the lemon zest, egg, feta and rolled quinoa flakes.
You can process the mixture smooth or leave a little texture, up to you. If the filling seems very wet, add more quinoa flakes or oats. Allow to cool fully before assembling.
To assemble, halve the sheet of puff pastry and divide the silverbeet filling evenly between the two pieces.
Roll and pinch together the seam, placing it facing down on the baking tray. Brush with the milk and sprinkle over the chia seeds.
Bake for approximately 20-30 mins or until the pastry is puffed and golden.
