Italian Chicken And Sausage Rolls Food

ITALIAN SAUSAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Lay the puff pastry sheets out on a flat work surface. Split the sausage casings lengthwise and turn the mild sausage meat out onto 1 pastry sheet and the hot sausage meat out onto the other pastry sheet. Gently pat the meat out to fit the pastry sheets, being careful to leave a 1/2-inch strip bare on both long sides of each sheet. Top with 3 tablespoons of Romano and 5 basil leaves per sheet. Starting with 1 of the bare strips, roll the pastry tightly around the filling. The bare strip on the far end will stick to itself.
• Place the rolls in the freezer for at least 1 hour; they should be just frozen enough to make slicing easy. (The recipe can be made to this point 1 week in advance.) Slice the rolls into 1/2-inch pieces, place on baking sheets and place in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and let cool 5 minutes before serving.

• Spread 1/4 of the sausage on each chicken breast and place a cheese stick at one end of the flattened chicken.
• Roll up the chicken over the cheese, then fold in the sides continuing to roll the chicken breasts like an egg roll,encasing sausage and cheese.
• In a bowl, mix flour, salt and oregano.

CHICKEN SAUSAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C / 395F / 180C fan forced. Line 2-3 large baking trays with baking paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the filling ingredients - chicken mince, onion, carrot, garlic, breadcrumbs, thyme leaves, mustard powder, salt and pepper. Use a spatula to mix well making sure everything is evenly distributed.
• Take roughly ⅓ cup (about 90g / 3.2oz) of the sausage mix and roll it in the flour. Roll it into a sausage shape about 2cm shorter than the width of your puff pastry.
• Place the sausage on the pastry about 2cm in from the edge. With your fingertip, brush a little water along the sides of the pastry next to each end of the sausage and along the long side closest to you. Now fold the side closest to you over the top of the sausage and, pulling it in tightly so there is no air trapped inside, seal it on the other side by pressing it to the bottom layer of pastry. Press down the edges.
• Trim the now very long sausage roll away from the rest of the pastry, then use a fork to press firmly down around the 3 joined sides to seal them tightly. Use a knife to trim away a little excess pastry and neaten them up, then cut the roll into 5 smaller pieces.
• Pierce the top of each with a sharp knife (this allows steam to escape) and place them at least 1 inch apart on the baking trays. Brush the egg wash (the egg yolk and water mixture) over the tops and scatter over sesame seeds if using.
• Bake for 24-26 minutes, until they've puffed up nicely and have turned golden on top.

SWEET ITALIAN CHICKEN SAUSAGE PATTIES

Steps:

• Mix chicken with garlic, parsley, cheese, fennel seeds, pepper, and salt. Form 6 large, thin patties, 4 to 5 inches, or 12 small patties, 2 to 3 inches. Preheat a large, nonstick skillet and fry sausage in extra-virgin olive oil, 3 or 4 minutes on each side over medium to medium- high heat.

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.

• Place chicken, ricotta, breadcrumbs, garlic, herbs and seasoning in a mixing bowl and use your hands to mix it until all the ingredients are well-combined.
• Divide the mixture into four portions.
• Cut the pastry sheets in half lengthways and place a quarter of the chicken mixture lengthways down each of the long sides of each of the pastry halves; roll up the pastry to enclose the filling and place the four pastry rolls, seam-side down, on a chopping board; brush the pastry with egg and sprinkle with poppy seeds.
• Cut each pastry roll into six individual chicken and ricotta sausage rolls and arrange them on an oven tray lined with baking paper.
• Cook the chicken and ricotta sausage rolls in a hot oven (200°C) for about 35 minutes, or until the pastry is lightly browned and crisp.
• To make the lemon mayonnaise, combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl.
• Serve the chicken and ricotta sausage rolls warm or cold with the lemon mayonnaise.

ITALIAN CHICKEN SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS
