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)

AUSSIE SAUSAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Combine first 6 ingredients and 3/4 teaspoon paprika. Add sausage; mix lightly but thoroughly., On a lightly floured surface, roll each pastry sheet into an 11x10-1/2-in. rectangle. Cut lengthwise into 3 strips. Spread 1/2 cup sausage mixture lengthwise down the center of each strip. Fold over sides, pinching edges to seal. Cut each log into 6 pieces., Place on a rack in a 15x10x1-in. pan, seam side down. Sprinkle with remaining paprika. Bake until golden brown and sausage is no longer pink, 20-25 minutes.

SAUSAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Pre-heat your oven to 220c.
• Lay all the sheets of pastry out on your counter top.
• In Australia, this pastry comes interleaved with plastic, which I still leave on at this stage.
• Mix together the meat, breadcrumbs, onion, parsley, milk and salt and pepper.
• The mixture will be quite sloppy-this keeps the sausage rolls moist.
• Whisk the egg and 2 tablespoons of milk together in a small bowl.
• Fill a large piping bag (no nozzle) with the mix and squeeze out a long line of mix down the long edge of the pastry-about 1/2 an inch in from that edge.
• Roll up, peeling the plastic away as you roll.
• Seal the inner edge with a little of the egg mix.
• Cut each of these rolls in half.
• I like to make an indent with a sharp knife in the middle of each of these smaller rolls to make them easier to eat.
• Prick each roll a couple of times with a fork.
• Repeat this until all the pastry and mix is used.
• Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg mix.
• Place in the oven and cook for 5 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to 200c and cook for a further 20 minutes.
• Remove to a tray to cool a little before serving them with ketchup or (my favourite) BBQ sauce.

AUSSIE SAUSAGE ROLL

Steps:

• Make "stale" breadcrumbs by processing one- or two-day-old bread.
• Preheat the oven to moderately hot 200°C Line 2 oven trays with baking paper.
• Heat butter in a large frying pan and add the onion and carrot. Stir for about 5 minutes, until the onion has softened. Combine the onion mixture, tomato sauce, parsley, sausage mince, beef mince, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly.
• Place a sheet of thawed pastry on a board and cut in half.
• Place one sixth of the mince mixture along the centre of the pastry.
• Roll the pastry over to enclose the mince mixture. Cut this into 3 pieces.
• Repeat with remaining pastry and mince mixture.
• Place sausage rolls on prepared trays. Brush with milk.
• Bake for about 15 minutes or until browned lightly.

SAUSAGE ROLLS THE AUSTRALIAN WAY

Steps:

• 1.Preheat oven to 425°F In a large bowl, mix together the sausage, onion, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and milk or cream.
• 2.Unfold the puff pastry onto a lightly floured work surface. Cut each sheet in two lengthwise to make four long rectangles. Form a log of sausage down the center of each puff pastry sheet, leaving a 1-inch edge. Starting from a long edge, roll the puff pastry up and over the sausage, brushing the edge with the beaten egg to seal. Pinch the ends closed.
• 3.Cut each roll into quarters. Place the rolls seam-side down on a parchment or wax paper-lined baking sheet and brush the tops with the egg wash.
• 4.Place in the oven and bake for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F, and bake for another 30 to 35 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden and the sausage is cooked through.
• 5.Let cool for a few minutes, then serve with ketchup.
• Variations.
• •Add extra flavorings to your sausage mix as you like: chopped parsley, thyme, curry powder, crumbled sage, garlic powder, paprika.
• •Appetizer Portions: Cut each rolled up puff pastry log into 8 portions instead of 4 to make appetizer-sized sausage rolls. Adjust down the cooking time to allow for the smaller size.
• •Sprinkle the rolls with sesame seeds or paprika before baking.
