Ingredients

• 500 g ground beef or pork
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium carrot, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 250 g gluten-free puff pastry
• 1 large egg, beaten

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large pan over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, sauté onion and garlic until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the grated carrot and cook for another 3 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 4

Add ground meat, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in chopped parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 6

Roll out the gluten-free puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, approximately 30x25 cm (12x10 inches).

Step 7

Spoon the meat mixture along one long edge of the pastry, leaving about an inch from the edge.

Step 8

Brush the exposed edge of the pastry with beaten egg.

Step 9

Carefully roll the pastry over the filling, starting from the filled edge, to form a log.

Step 10

Seal the edge of the roll by pinching the pastry together.

Step 11

Transfer the roll to the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Brush the top with more beaten egg.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 13

Allow to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm.
