Ingredients

• 500 grams Plant-based ground beef substitute
• 200 grams Large spinach leaves
• 100 grams Grated cheddar cheese
• 1 medium Finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Freshly chopped parsley
• 1 large Puff pastry sheet
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
• 1 large Egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the plant-based ground beef substitute, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 7-8 minutes.

Step 5

Add dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper; mix well.

Step 6

Add spinach leaves, allowing them to wilt slightly in the mixture, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated cheddar cheese and freshly chopped parsley.

Step 8

Lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheet to about 30cm x 30cm (12 x 12 inches).

Step 9

Spread the plant-based beef and spinach mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a 2cm (1 inch) border around the edges.

Step 10

Brush the edges of the pastry with a beaten egg to help seal the roll.

Step 11

Carefully roll up the pastry from one side to the other, sealing the edge tightly to form a log.

Step 12

Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 13

Brush the top of the roll with egg wash to ensure it crisps and turns golden brown.

Step 14

Score the top of the roll with a sharp knife to create slits for steam to escape.

Step 15

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

Step 16

Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
