Italian Roll

Well that's why the vote was to call it anyway - the alternative title was 'Long Pies'. In any case it wasn't an unqualified success but I'll note it down here just to remember. Despite two 'do again' votes I think the dish can't make up its mind whether to be a lasagne or a pie, and if faced with the choice of this, lasagne or pie no-one would pick this one, so I think we have a loser.

So it's a sheet of puff pastry per 'long pie', layered with thickened mince sauce, then thickened spinach puree, then a layer of grated cheddar cheese, then rolled swiss-roll style, then baked. You don't get much of a roll in there. The pastry pouffed OK (which I was worried about with all the moisture) but it just lacked lustre a bit, even though the meat was tender and tasty and that bit of cheese and the crispiness of the puff pastry was all a pleasant combo.

Didn't take a photo. Sorry.
