Homemade Sausage Rolls

INSPIRED BY: Martha Stewart
PREP: 20 min
SERVINGS: 20

INGREDIENTS

½ kg lean ground pork 

½ kg lean ground beef
½ medium onion, chopped
½ carrot, finely grated
½ cup potatoes, chopped & cooked
½ cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
3 tbsp fresh or dried sage leaves
2 tbsp sambal oelek
1 tsp coarse salt
1 tsp ground pepper
1 pkt frozen puff pastry, thawed
2 eggs, beaten
poppy seeds

DIRECTIONS

1/ Preheat oven to 180°C. Set a wire rack on a baking sheet and set aside.

2/ Place mince, onion, potato, carrot, parsley, sage, salt, pepper, one egg, and sambal oelek in a large bowl; using a fork, mix to combine.

3/ Unfold each sheet of puff pastry and take a handful of meat mixture and spread out in a long log down one edge of the pastry. Roll until one edge is about to double in pastry, brush with egg and create the double layer – this forms the base of the sausage roll. Slice the rolls at 3cm intervals and place on the baking sheet. Repeat until all the pastry sheets and mixture is used.

4/ Brush rolls with remaining egg mixture, sprinkle with poppy seeds and transfer to oven; bake until golden about 20 minutes.

Serve with various condiments, for dipping.
