4 sprigs of fresh thyme
500 g minced pork
½ teaspoon mustard seeds
500 g puff pastry
1 large free-range egg

Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6.
Wash, trim and dice the leek, core and dice the apple, then pick the thyme leaves.
Combine the pork, leek, apple, thyme leaves and mustard seeds in a bowl. Season and set aside.
Roll out the pastry to 1cm thick and 34cm x 30cm. Halve lengthways and place a strip of mince down the centre of each.
Brush the edges with beaten egg, roll up and seal. Brush with more egg, then cut each strip into 3 rolls.
Score the tops and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.

Ingredients
olive or rapeseed oil
375 g plain flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
10 tablespoons unsalted butter
200 g sugar
2 large free-range eggs
360 ml natural yoghurt
2 generous handfuls of chocolate chips
POMEGRANATE ICING
1 splash of pomegranate juice
2 tablespoons icing sugar

Method
Preheat the oven to 190ºC/gas 5. Grease your muffin tin(s) lightly with oil.
Sieve the flour, baking powder and soda, and ½ teaspoon of sea salt and set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together, beating until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until incorporated.
Beat in half of the dry ingredients until just mixed, followed by one-third of the yoghurt. Then beat in half of the remaining dry ingredients, followed by another third of the yoghurt. Beat in the remaining dry ingredients and yoghurt. Do not over-beat.
Fold in the chocolate chips. Distribute the muffin batter equally among the cups and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown.
Turn out onto a wire rack and leave to cool.
For the icing, add the pomegranate juice to the icing sugar and mix together to form a thick paste. When the muffins have cooled, top with the icing and sprinkle with fresh elderflowers, if in season.
