HOMEMADE SAUSAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a non stick fry pan over medium high heat. Sauté garlic, onion & celery for 2 minutes, then add bacon.
• Cook for a further 2 minutes (don't make bacon golden) then transfer to bowl and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
• Add remaining Filling ingredients into the bowl. Use your hands to mix well.
• Lay out a rectangle of pastry, long edge closest to you. Brush egg along one long edge.
• Get 1/5 th of the filling and shape into a long log shape down the middle of the pastry. Ensure the meat is tight and compact, without gaps.
• Brush edge of pastry with egg. Then roll up, finishing with the seam side down.Roll up, sealing on the edge with egg wash on it .
• If you have time/patience, refrigerate for 1 hour (makes it easier/neater to cut)

BEEF SAUSAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• If using frozen puff pastry, remove it from the packet and separate the sheets to allow them to thaw. Meanwhile, whisk the egg in a small bowl and set aside.
• Combine beef mince, sausage mince, onions, carrot, garlic, parsley and sauces in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mix using hands to combine and then divide mixture into 8 equal portions.
• Lay a sheet of pastry on a flat surface. Cut the pastry sheet in half horizontally. Spoon an eighth of the beef mixture down along the long side of one pastry half, shaping mince into a long sausage shape. Brush opposite long edge with a little egg mixture.
• Roll up pastry to enclose filling, finishing seam side down. Repeat with remaining mince mixture, pastry and egg wash. If making in advance, refrigerate until desired serving time.
• Preheat oven to 200ºC. Brush top of each log with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Cut into 6 short pieces and place them seam side down on prepared tray, 2 cm apart.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. Serve hot with tomato ketchup or other condiments.

SESAME SEED SAUSAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• 1Cut or break bread into small pieces and place into a bowl. Cover with hot water, stand for five minutes and then, using clean hands, squeeze excess water from bread.
• Place softened bread in a large bowl, add sausage mince, onion and parsley. Season mixture with salt and pepper and mix with clean hands until well combined.
• Partially thaw puff pastry and cut in half. Spread about 1/3 cup of the mince mixture down the centre of each pastry rectangle. Brush edges of pastry lightly with water, then roll up to enclose filling and form long rolls. Cut each roll in half.
• Place sausage rolls, seam-side down, on lightly greased baking trays (I use greaseproof paper to cut down on cleaning up time). Brush lightly with milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Bake in a 220C preheated oven for ten minutes, then reduce temperature to 180C and bake for a further fifteen minutes or until rolls are golden.
• Note : Cooked sausage rolls will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for two to three days. Reheat in a 150C preheated oven as required. Rolls can also be frozen for up to one month.

CHEF JOHN'S SAUSAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Place ground pork, onions, garlic, sage, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, coriander, thyme, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl. Mix with a fork until ingredients are evenly distributed, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide mixture in half and place each half on a length of plastic wrap. Use your damp fingers to shape each half into a cylinder, approximately the same length as the puff pastry. Roll up in the plastic and form into a round roll. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Whisk egg with water to make the egg wash.
• Separate the semi-frozen puff pastry dough into thirds. Halve one of the thirds lengthwise. Bring pastry to room temperature. Brush a 2-inch strip of egg wash along 1 long edge of the 2 larger pastry pieces. Place the narrower pieces on the egg wash strip, overlapping about 1 inch, to make a wider piece of pastry dough. Press lightly to form 2 wide lengths of pastry dough.
• Transfer 2 sheets of dough to a lightly floured piece of parchment paper; dust tops lightly with flour. Cover with another sheet of parchment. Roll gently to achieve an even thickness. Remove top sheet of parchment. Flatten the longs edges of the dough slightly about 1 inch wide so that when the roll-up is completed, the seam side won't be thicker than the rest of the dough. Place a sausage log at the end of a pastry sheet. Begin to roll the sausage log in the pastry, brushing the far edge with egg wash before sealing the edges together. Place seam side down on parchment and place on a dish. Repeat with 2nd sausage roll. Freeze until dough firms up, about 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat.
• Place rolls on a lightly floured surface. Lightly brush top and sides with egg wash. Cut each roll into 8 pieces. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Place on prepared baking sheet seam side down (standing up). Lightly press each roll to flatten it slightly so they don't fall over when baking.
• Place in preheated oven; bake until nicely browned, pastry is cooked through, and bottoms are browned, about 30 minutes.

SUPER SAUSAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Roll out the pastry to a 35 x 30cm rectangle on a surface lightly dusted with flour. Trim the edges neatly, then cut in half lengthways to form two long strips. Spread with a thin layer of the apple sauce, pickle or chutney, leaving a border along the edges.
• Tip the sausagemeat into a large bowl, add 3 tbsp cold water and squash together. Divide the mixture in two and mould each half into a cylindrical shape. Put each portion of meat into the middle of a pastry strip, leaving a border at either side. Brush the pastry border and the top of the sausage mix with the beaten egg. Fold one edge of the pastry over the meat and roll to encase, then use a fork to press the pastry edges together. Cut the sausage rolls into 5cm lengths and arrange on a lined baking tray. Chill for 20 mins. Can be made a day ahead or frozen for up to one month; to bake from frozen, add an extra 10 mins to the cooking time.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Brush the sausage rolls with the rest of the beaten egg and sprinkle with the sesame seeds or nigella seeds (if using). Bake for 30-35 mins until the pastry is deep golden. Transfer the sausage rolls to a wire rack and leave to cool for 10 mins.

SUMMER SAUSAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Whizz the chicken and garlic in a processor until the chicken is minced. Tip in the bacon, sundried tomatoes and basil. Pulse for 5 secs to just mix through. Season well.
• Roll the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut in half lengthways. Spread half the chicken mixture along the middle of one of the pastry strips, then roll up the pastry, pinching the ends together to seal. Using a sharp knife, cut into 2.5cm long pieces. Repeat with the remaining pastry strip. Can be frozen, uncooked, for up to 1 month.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place the rolls on a large baking sheet. Brush with the egg, then sprinkle with seeds. Bake for 20 mins until golden.
