Create something delicious to snack on this Christmas with our super easy sausage rolls recipe.
Ingredients:
½ small garlic clove
handful of parsley, chopped
400g sausage meat
375g pack ready-rolled puff pastry
1 beaten egg, to glaze
Method:
STEP 1
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Crush the garlic and a little salt to a paste using a pestle and mortar, or use the flat of a knife on a chopping board. Mix together with the parsley and stir in 50ml cold water.
STEP 2
Blend the sausage meat in a food processor (if using sausages, peel away the skins) on a high speed, pour the garlic water into the mixture, then season with pepper. Blend until combined.
STEP 3
Unroll the pastry onto a board and cut in half lengthways.
STEP 4
Divide the sausage mixture in two and spread along the length of each pastry strip in a cylinder shape, leaving a 1cm edge.
STEP 5
Tightly roll the pastry around the sausage meat and brush the ends with the beaten egg to secure.
STEP 6
Cut each roll into 10 pieces with a sharp knife, each about 2.5cm long, and arrange on a baking sheet. Will keep, covered and frozen, for one month.
STEP 7
Brush more beaten egg all over the pastry. Cook for 25-35 mins until the pastry is puffed and crisp and the meat has cooked through. Add an extra 10 mins if cooking from frozen. Eat hot or cold with tomato ketchup, if you like.
