What you'll need
Prepare the pastry: Preheat your oven to 180°C. Remove the puff pastry sheets from the freezer, peel back the plastic wrap and separate the sheets. Allow them to thaw while you prepare the filling.
Prepare the filling: Finely dice the onions. In a large bowl, combine the beef mince, sausage mince, onions, salt, black pepper, dried fennel, pomegranate molasses, eggs and tomato paste.
Mix well: Using your hands, gently massage the mixture together until everything is well combined and the filling becomes a smooth, paste-like consistency.
Fill the pastry: Place one pastry sheet flat and add approximately 3 large tablespoons of filling along the bottom edge.
Roll: Gently roll the pastry upwards, keeping the filling tucked in and securing the edges as you go
Cut into pieces: Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into approximately 5cm pieces.
Repeat: Continue filling, rolling and cutting the pastry sheets until all the filling has been used.
Brush and finish: Beat the remaining egg and generously brush each pastry piece. Sprinkle with poppy seeds.
Bake: Place the rolls on a lined baking tray and bake on the middle rack for approximately 35 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Rest and serve: Allow the rolls to rest on the tray for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with tomato sauce or your favourite dip.
