Method
-----------
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
2. Heat oil in frypan, sauté onions, garlic, chilli until softened. Remove from heat and cool.
3. Mix together the mince, ginger, chives, chilli, five spice, soy, rice wine vinegar, panko crumbs, peanuts, honey, pepper and salt.
4. For each square of puff pastry, slice down the middle, dividing it into two rectangles. Divide the mixture between the four rectangles. Roll each sheet of pastry to enclose, brush the edges with whisked egg to help it to stick together.
5. Place the rolls onto a lined tray, ensuring the seam is underneath. Time permitting, place in fridge for 30 minutes for pastry to firm up. This step is to make it easier and neater to cut.
6. Using a bread knife, cut each roll into 6 (or into a size you desire).
7. Brush with whisked egg, and sprinkle with white or black sesame seeds. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
8. For the chutney, heat some olive oil in a pan and add the onion. Saute until soft. Add the tomatoes, capsicum, chillis, garlic, paprika, vinegar and sugar. Simmer until soft, stirring every now and then. Add the cornflour and water mix stirring continuously. Alternatively blitz with an immersion blender for a few seconds (leave it chunky).
9. Serve the hot sausage rolls with the relish.
