2 teaspoon oil
2 medium brown onions finely chopped
4 cloves of garlic finely chopped (I used minced garlic from the jar)
200 g 7oz button mushrooms, sliced
500 g 18oz lean beef mince
½ cup soft fresh breadcrumbs I used oats as I was out of breadcrumbs and too lazy to make some
1 egg lightly beaten
½ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1 ½ sheets frozen low-fat puff pastry
1 tbs low fat milk
steamed veges or salad to serve

In a frying pan, heat the oil and saute the onions until soft then add the garlic and stir until fragrant. Remove from the pan.
Cook the mushrooms and remaining garlic until the liquid evaporates. Mine took about 15. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
Pre-heat your oven to 200C/180C (390F/360F) fan-forced and line a baking sheet with baking paper. A trick I learned a little while ago is to put a sheet of alfoil under your parchment paper. This eliminates having to clean the tray.
In a large bowl, combine mince, onion mix, breadcrumbs, egg, parsley, half the mustard and oregano and season with salt and pepper.
Lay out a single sheet of pastry and spread the remaining mustard in the middle of the sheet. Spread the mushroom on top of the mustard then shape your beef mixture into a loaf (or fat sausage shape) on top down the middle on top of the pastry. Place the half sheet of pastry over the top. Brush edges of pastry with egg wash (egg whisked with milk) using a pastry brush then fold the sides up to enclose your filling, pressing the edges to seal.
Carefully place the loaf (seam sides down) on the baking tray, score a few diagonal slits in the top to let out the steam, brush with milk then into the preheated oven to bake for about 40 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and mince is cooked - that's a bit of a guesstimate but mine was perfectly cooked in that time.
Serve with a steamed veges and enjoy!
