Sausage Roll

Sausage Roll

If you're like me, eating a sausage roll leaves a pasty taste on the roof of your mouth and once you've finished  eating you notice the packaging has turned transparent from all the oil in the roll. Yuck!  So when I happened upon this recipe of a homemade sausage roll, I knew I had to try it.  I am always on the prowl for quick, easy, tasty & minimal ingredient recipes and this one ticks all the boxes.

I found this recipe on Better Homes and Gardens .

Serves 4-6
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon oil
1 onion - diced
1 carrot - grated
2 cloves garlic or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons mixed herbs or Italian herbs
2 tablespoons tomato paste
500g beef mince
250g pork mince
2 eggs
1 cup bread crumbs plus extra
2 tablespoons soy sauce
puff pastry

Here's how to do it:
Heat oven to 200degrees.

Prepare onion & carrot, remove puff pastry from freezer.

Heat oil in fry pan, add onion & carrot.  Cook until just tender.  Add garlic, herbs & tomato paste & cook until mixture just starts to stick to pan.  Transfer to bowl.

Add mince & eggs to mixture and stir.  The more you stir the better the mince mixture will hold together.

Once combined, add breadcrumbs and soy sauce.  Mix through.

Roll mixture into logs about the length of your pastry sheet and about 3 cm thick.  Roll each log in extra breadcrumbs.  According to BH&G this will help soak up moisture and make a crispier pastry.

Lightly brush the sheet of pastry with an egg wash before putting on the mince.  Roll pastry until it overlaps itself by 1 cm, trim remaining pastry.  Place sausage roll seam side down onto a baking tray.  Repeat for remaining mixture.  Cut rolls in half (or desired size) and brush with egg wash.

Cook for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.  Serve hot with lashings of tomato sauce.

My partner and I used two sheets of pastry (which created four medium sausage rolls) and used the remaining mince mixture to make meat balls.  Simply roll balls in breadcrumbs, place in fridge so that they'll hold together when frying.  Heat small amount of oil & cook in batches.  Drain.  To the pan add your favourite bottled sauce and start to warm through, add meat balls and allow to simmer for 30 minutes.  Add your favourite pasta (we had spaghetti), serve with Parmesan cheese.  Spaghetti and Meatballs - how can you go wrong!  Left overs anyone?

Enjoy!
