Ingredients:

• 1 lb (500 g) ground Ontario pork
• 1/4 cup (60 mL) finely chopped onion
• 1/4 cup (60 mL) shredded Parmesan or Asiago cheese
• 3 tbsp (45 mL) seasoned breadcrumbs
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each fennel seeds, crushed and hot pepper flakes
• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 tsp (5 mL) flaked salt

Cooking Instructions:

1. In a bowl, stir together pork, onion, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic, fennel and hot pepper flakes; set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Unroll pastry and roll into a 12 x 10 inch (30 x 25 cm) rectangle. Cut dough in half. Divide pork mixture into 2 and shape into a long cylinder along the edge of each piece.
4. Roll up gently and pinch edge to seal. Place seam side down on prepared baking sheet. Brush all over with egg and sprinkle with salt. Make small cuts along the top every 2 inches (5 cm).
5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. Let cool slightly and cut into rolls to serve.

Tip: Once completely cooled, freeze for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container. Alternatively,
store in refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat if desired.
