    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 In a small saucepan, over a medium-high heat, place quinoa and ¾ cup of water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until water has evaporated and quinoa is tender. Set aside to cool.

    2 Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.

    3 In a large bowl, combine mince, shallots, carrot, pesto, parsley and cooked quinoa. Season with pepper. On a clean work surface, place one piece of bread and brush edges with egg. Place ¼ of the filling along one long side of the bread, about 3cm from the edge. Roll firmly to enclose. Cut log into 4 even rolls. Repeat the process to make 16 rolls.

    4 Brush tops with egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Place on prepared tray. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until rolls are golden and the bread is crisp.

    5 Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine final 5 ingredients well. Serve sausage rolls with relish.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free wraps instead of Mountain Bread and check pesto is gluten free.

    Make it low FODMAP: Swap shallots for finely sliced spring onion (green leaves only), replace bread with gluten-free wraps and check pesto and roasted capsicum for garlic.
