Ingredients

2 teaspoon vegetable or olive oil

2 medium brown onions, finely chopped

4 cloves garlic, finely chopped

200 gram button mushrooms, thinly sliced

500 gram lean beef mince

1/2 cup soft fresh breadcrumbs

1 egg, lightly beaten

1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

2 tablespoon dijon mustard

1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves

1 1/2 sheets frozen reduced-fat puff pastry, thawed

1 tablespoon reduced-fat milk

Method

1.Heat oil in a small frying pan. Add onion; cook and stir for 10 minutes or until golden. Add half the garlic; cook and stir for 1 minute or until fragrant. Remove from pan. Add mushroom and remaining garlic to pan; cook for 10 minutes or until liquid evaporates. Cool.

2.Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Line a baking tray with baking paper. Combine mince, onion mixture, breadcrumbs, egg, parsley, half the mustard and oregano in a medium bowl. Season well with salt and pepper. Shape into a loaf (about 17 x 11cm).

3.Spread remaining mustard on centre of whole pastry sheet. Top with mushroom mixture, then with mince loaf. Brush edges of pastry with milk.

4.Place the half pastry sheet lengthwise over mince. Fold edges of whole pastry sheet up and over loaf to enclose; press edges to seal. Fold in pastry ends, press to seal.

5.Carefully place loaf, seam-side down, on prepared tray. Using a small knife, score top a few times to let steam escape. Bake for 40 minutes or until pastry is golden and mince is cooked. Cool for 5 minutes. Slice. Serve with steamed vegetables.
