Bolognaise Pinwheel

[cookie1]

It would have to be realloy good for that price. I think I like Mr Pampas even more.

We had this last night, I threw in 2 extra tablespoons of t.paste. Had to bake mine longer in the oven- but I dont have fan forced. 5/5 from us!

l checked out my local supermarket Maxi's today to see if they stock Careme pastry, and sure enough they do for only $7.  Am going to have to try it now! although maybe not for this pinwheel

Good price katesjoy but don't waste it on this recipe.  Do something special with it to get the best value out of it.

[cookie1]

I agree with Judy.  Do something where you can really enjoy the flavour of the pastry.

[Thermomixer]

I would use the Careme - the recipe is great and may as well have good pastry to use for cookie1's recipe.  You got it at a reasonable price, so go for it - you only live once. 

[judydawn]

No , don't waste it katesjoy    There was no difference between Pampas and Careme when I did it.  Make a lovely dessert or pie topping out of it and you will really appreciate it.

[katesjoy]

  lmao, l think l will try it for a pie crust first!  when it's a bit cooler and l don't mind turning the oven on.

Made this twice this week, a test run, and today for guests.  Was delicious.

First one I used 3 cubes of frozen spinach as that's what I had - excellent.  Means I can make it anyday as always have that on hand.

Second one used the fresh spinach leaves.  Very nice as well.

Can't believe that I managed to feed 4 adults and 3 toddlers with 500g mince.  That's a great value meal.

[katesjoy]

l too finally got around to making this, the only problem being that l will be eating leftovers for a long, long time! 

P.S. also tried out careme pastry on top of some apples - oh my that is some seriously good pastry.  Can't wait to try their chocolate pastry now.

Katesjoy, you could freeze some of the pinwheel. Maybe save you from too many leftovers.

[katesjoy]

i have frozen some cookie, but my little freezer is overflowing.  Keep making more things than l can eat, but can't stop or l go into TMX withdrawal.    Luckily my parents came to check out their new grandchild (TMX) and took most of my spoils home with them.

I made this too today and we thoroughly enjoyed it.  I added a tsp of sugar when I added the tom paste to the bowl. 
I also cooked the onion etc for 10 mins on 100 C instead of the 3 mins to make sure I cooked the rawness out of the onion.

I made some mash and veg in the bowl/Varoma to serve with it.  Very tasty, thankyou Cookie and will be made again.

No photo tonight as it was put together quickly after a very busy afternoon and I just didn't feel like getting the lights out.

Looks good cookie!

I wouldn't bother with Careme if I paid that much for it. Though, I'd love to get hold of a truly flaky pastry to make Cream Matches as my DH adores them!

These were a hit tonight in our house.  Great job Cookie!

I had a bit of trouble rolling them up.  My bolognaise wasn't stone cold which had softened the pastry too much.  Also I threw a zucchini into the mix (I have 17 ready at once in the garden  ) and probably had too much filling.  Next time I will just stick to the recipe    .
