Sage Rolls Food

SAUSAGE, APPLE & SAGE ROLL

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line a large baking tray with baking parchment. Heat 1 tsp of the oil in a small non-stick saucepan and gently fry the onion and apple for 6-8 mins, stirring regularly, until softened and lightly browned. Leave to cool for 5 mins.
• Place 1 sheet of pastry on your work surface, with the short end closest to you, and brush lightly with oil. Place another sheet on top, but off-set roughly 6cm to the right, and brush with a little more oil. Top with the final sheet, off-set another 6cm to the right. The pastry rectangle should be roughly 40 x 45cm.
• Squeeze the sausagemeat from the skins into a large bowl. Add the onion, apple and sage, and mix well. Form the pork mixture into a large sausage shape and place across the pastry, about 8cm in from one short end and 8cm from each side.
• Fold up the bottom of the pastry until it begins to cover the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll the pastry from the bottom, gently but firmly, to enclose the filling. Place on the baking tray and brush with the remaining oil. Bake for 30 mins or until the filling is cooked and the pastry is golden brown and crisp. Serve with mixed salad leaves.

PORK & SAGE SAUSAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Cut the pastry sheet into 8 equal squares.
• Skin the sausages, then lay the meat from one sausage in the middle of a pastry square. Put 2 sage leaves on top. Brush a little egg on one side then seal the pastry squares using your fingers to create a crimped edge. Repeat to make 7 more.
• Transfer to a lightly greased baking tray, brush with more egg and bake for 25-30 mins until golden brown and cooked through.
• Allow to cool for a few mins then run a palette knife underneath to loosen the sausage rolls. They can be eaten hot or cold. For a picnic, simply cool and pop into a container, layered with baking parchment. Will keep for 2 days in the fridge.

GREEN ONION, THYME AND SAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Put the flours, yeast and salt in a large bowl (or stand mixer bowl). Make a well in the center and pour in the water. Mix everything together well (by hand with a wooden spoon or, if by machine, with a dough hook on medium speed) to make a smooth, soft dough ball, 2 to 4 minutes. If doing by machine, continue to knead on medium-high speed for 5 minutes. Otherwise, put the dough on a clean work surface sprinkled with a little flour and knead for about 10 minutes.
• To test to see if the dough has been kneaded enough, form into a ball with a nice taut top. Put some flour on your finger and then prod the dough to make a small indent. If the dent springs back all the way, this means the dough is kneaded enough. If not, then knead a little bit more.
• Put the dough on the work surface (sprinkled with a little flour if you haven't already done so) and then flatten it out with a rolling pin to about an 8-inch round, 3/4 to 1 inch thick. Put the green onions and thyme in a pile in the center and then bring the sides of the dough up over the filling to enclose. Flip it over so the seam side is down and roll it out to the same size again. Once again, gather the edges up and over, but then knead the dough by hand to incorporate the filling ingredients evenly throughout. You may need to dust with a little more flour as you go if the green onions make things a little damp.
• Divide the dough into 10 equal-size pieces and knead each one into a ball with a nice taut top. Put the rolls, seam-side down and spaced apart, on a large nonstick baking sheet. Spray the rolls with a light spritz of cooking spray and then cover with plastic wrap so that it is airtight, but not too tight as the bread needs to grow.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and leave the bread on a chair about 3 feet away from the oven for 45 minutes, or until the bread has almost doubled in size. To test that the rolls are ready, remove the plastic wrap, put some flour on your finger and prod the side of the dough to make a small dent. The dent should spring back about halfway. When it does, it is ready. If necessary, leave it to rise a bit longer.
• Once ready, brush the dough balls with the beaten egg and lay 3 sage leaves in whatever decorative fashion you like on top of each one. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped underneath. Once ready, remove from the oven and serve warm.

BEST BRITISH SAUSAGE ROLL

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a frying pan, heat the vegetable oil on medium heat and add the onion to cook for approximately 7 minutes, or until it starts to lightly brown.
• In a large mixing bowl, add the sausage meat, cooked onion, and 2 of the eggs. Season with a couple of pinches of black pepper and a good sprinkling of salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly and evenly combined.
• Preheat the oven to 400 F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry into two 8- by 10-inch rectangles. Cut each rectangle into 2 long strips (4 total) and rest them in the fridge for at least 10 minutes.
• Place the cold pastry onto 2 lightly greased baking pans. In the center of each pastry, form the sausage meat into a long sausage the length of the pastry strip. Beat the remaining egg in a small bowl and lightly brush the edges of the pastry.
• Fold the pastry over the meat filling to form long rolls. Flip the sausage roll over so the seam is underneath. Lightly brush the top surface with egg.
• Cut the rolls into 1 1/2-inch lengths. Or vary the length to the style of roll you want.
• Cook in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Leave them to cool before packing them into your picnic basket or lunch box, or simply eat them right away. Enjoy.

VEGAN SAUSAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Tip the mushrooms into a food processor and pulse until they are very finely chopped. Put half the olive oil in a large frying pan, add the leeks along with a pinch of salt and fry gently for 15 mins or until softened and golden brown. Scrape the leeks out of the pan, into a bowl and set aside to cool a little.
• Heat the remaining oil in the pan and fry the mushrooms for 10 mins over a medium heat. Add the garlic, sage, miso and mustard, and fry for a further minute. Leave to cool slightly.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the mushroom mixture into the bowl with the leeks, then add the chestnuts and breadcrumbs. Season, then mix everything together until you have a slightly stiff mixture.
• Unravel the pastry on a floured surface, then roll the pastry out so that one side measures 43 cm. Mould the mushroom and leek mixture into a sausage shape down the centre of the pastry, then bring the pastry up around the filling and seal along the seam with a fork. Cut into ten pieces. Lay on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush each piece with milk. Bake for 25 mins or until deep, golden brown. Leave to cool a little and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.

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.

BRITISH SAUSAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Place the ground pork in a large mixing bowl and add the spices. Mix with a fork until well combined. Don't mix any longer than necessary, or the meat mixture will get tough.
• Cut two large pieces of plastic wrap and lay them flat on the counter. Divide the meat mixture between the two pieces, then shape them into logs. Make sure each log is well wrapped in the plastic wrap.
• Chill the logs in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line an 11 by 17-inch rimmed cookie sheet with parchment paper. Crack the egg into a small bowl and beat a fork until well blended.
• Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface until it's just a bit longer than the meat logs (roughly 10x18 inches). Cut the rectangle in half lengthwise.
• Unwrap the meat logs, then lay them on top of the rectangles.
• Brush one long side of the rectangle with beaten egg, then roll the pastry tightly over the sausage so it overlaps. Pinch the seam closed, then place the roll seam side down.
• Place both logs on a small parchment-lined cookie sheet and brush them all over with beaten egg. Chill in the freezer for 10 minutes or in the fridge for 30 minutes to harden the pastry. This is an important step; don't skip it.
• Slice the roll into about 12 pieces and place them about an inch apart on the prepared cookie sheet.
• Bake at 400 F for 35-40 minutes, until the pastry is well browned and the meat is cooked. Test the meat's temperature by stacking two or three rolls and sticking a meat thermometer through the center. The temperature should be 160 F.
• Immediately transfer them to a wire rack to cool a little. Serve warm with HP sauce or English mustard.

KNOTTED ONION SAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Saute onions in olive oil until soft, but not brown. Set aside and cool. In a large bowl, stir yeast into water to soften. Add milk, shortening, honey, salt, 2 cups flour and cooled onions. Beat vigorously for two minutes. Whisk sage and whole wheat flour together and add to onion mixture. Stir to incorporate. Gradually add flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough begins to pull away from the side of the bowl. Turn dough out onto a floured work surface. Knead, adding flour a little at a time, until you have a smooth, elastic dough. Put dough into an oiled bowl. Turn to coat the entire ball of dough with oil. Cover with a tightly woven towel and let rise until doubled, about one hour. Turn the dough out onto a lightly oiled work surface and divide into 36 equal pieces, Shape each piece into an 8-inch strand and tie it into a single knot. Place about three inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. (These knotted rolls are also attractive if placed into well-greased muffin pans.) Cover with a tightly woven towel and let rise until almost doubled, about 45 minutes. About 10 minutes before baking, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the rolls reaches 190 degrees. Immediately remove rolls from baking sheets and cool on a rack. For a shiny, soft crust, brush the tops of the rolls with olive oil.

SAUSAGE AND CHEESE ROLLS WITH SAGE OIL

Steps:

• Place a pizza stone on the middle oven rack and preheat to 500˚ F. Place a baking sheet on top of the pizza stone.
• Warm the olive oil in a small skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add the sage, red pepper flakes and garlic. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly; season with salt.
• Divide the sausage into 16 small balls. Cook in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Divide the dough into 16 balls (about 2 inches each). Flatten and shape each into a 3 1/2-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Put 1 piece of cooked sausage in the center of each round and top each with a few cubes of cheese. Very lightly brush the edges of the dough with water. Bring the edges of the dough toward the center, lightly pleating to form a tight package; pinch to seal. Turn seam-side down; using a metal skewer dipped in flour, make a hole in the center of each dough ball to create a steam vent.
• Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and carefully line with parchment paper; place the dough balls on the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Brush liberally with the sage oil. Transfer the baking sheet to the pizza stone and bake 5 minutes, then rotate the pan and bake until the rolls are golden brown, about 10 more minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with more sage oil. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve immediately with the remaining sage oil for dipping.
