Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

You can prepare these pinwheels earlier to the roll stage, then cover rolls in glad wrap and put into fridge until closer to serving time. That way they will be nice and hot for you to serve.

I use leggo’s tomato paste/pizza sauce (garlic, onion and herbs) flavor.

An optional choice or other combinations for these pinwheels are: finely chopped onion, 1/2 finely chopped red capsicum ,chopped olives or chopped salami can be used, just be careful you don't make them too thick.
