Kids love pastry. They love sausage rolls and party pies but as a parent you can be horrified at some of the ingredients and fat content which is why it is so exciting and rewarding to make your own.
This is a great, really quick and easy recipe and the kids can even help make it, the Kenilworth Ricotta really makes this dish. Rawganix Eggs, Kenilworth Ricotta & Cheddar and all the ingredients can be delivered by Maleny Supa IGA via online ordering across the Sunshine Coast.

Ingredients

• 250g Kenilworth fresh ricotta cheese
• 2 large carrots
• 1 large zucchini
• ½ cup grated Kenilworth mild cheddar cheese
• 1 Rawganix free range egg
• ½ teaspoon turmeric
• salt
• 4 sheets reduced fat or gluten free puff pastry

Method

• Pre heat oven to 180`c.
• Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
• Remove pastry from freezer and let thaw slightly.
• Combine the egg and ricotta, mix together and add in turmeric and a pinch of salt.
• Add the grated carrot, zucchini and cheese, combine well.
• Cut each sheet in half. Put a layer of mixture down the centre of each piece.
• Roll closed with the pastry rolling over itself so you end up with two long rolls.
• Cut into desired lengths.
• Brush them lightly with beaten egg.
• Bake until golden brown and pastry is cooked.
• Serve!

Notes

• Add some fresh chili for a more adult version.
• The addition of some curry powder or curry paste gives a different version.
• Freeze for your own healthy version of takeaway for those times when you want a quick and easy dinner.
• I have used turmeric in this recipe for its great health properties with my own children, you can leave out.
• Great cold in the school lunchboxes!

Toddler Tips

• Make them nice and small so they are toddler hand sized
• Serve with a toddler salad of salad greens, boiled eggs, fresh crunch snow peas, cherry tomatoes, avocado and some sunflower seeds.
