    This is a great starter for a bbq. Tingling on the taste buds. I served them with sweet chilli sauce mixed with some bbq hickory mixed in. You will come back for more.

    having made home made spring rolls for many years, I'd also suggest making the meat/veg mixture the day before and chill for at least 4-5 (preferably 24 hours) before making the rolls. They do freeze well - I usually do them in bags of 8-12 mini spring rolls. If you're going to go to the trouble of making one batch, may as well triple/quadruple it and have some for later! I lay them on trays, separated by freezer wrap and wrapped in foil (to prevent freezer burn/ice forming), then bag once frozen.

      forgot to mention, a combination of lean lamb, chicken and pork mince yields very, very tasty results. (My recipe for spring rolls on my members page if anyone is interested)
