Super Sausage Rolls

Lately Master 2 requests that I sing his stories to him at bed time and one of his favourite is, There were 10 in the Bed. So today I planned some activities around that rhyme and we got busy, perfect as it was another rainy day! The boy's and I decided to make sausage rolls for lunch. I'm always looking for cooking activities that allow both Master 2 and Master 4 to be a part of. Home-made sausage rolls are a winner in our house, not just because of the fun we have making them, but they taste good too! I use a very basic recipe as that way both boys can really be part of the process.

Ingredients
1 large carrot, peeled, grated

1 small brown onion, finely chopped

beef mince

sausage meat

2 cups fresh breadcrumbs

puff pastry, thawed

1 egg

1/2 jar Baxter's tomato relish

1/2 cup soy sauce

sesame seeds, to garnish

tomato or BBQ sauce, to serve

While our yummy sausage rolls were cooking Master 2 and Master 4 enjoyed using some rollers I picked up from the discount store and did some painting.
