Sausage Rolls
Description
This recipe starts by cooking minced bacon with aromatic vegetables including onion, celery, carrot, and garlic to develop a flavorful base. After cooling, this mixture is combined with ground pork and beef, panko breadcrumbs, egg, and seasonings such as barbecue and Worcestershire sauces, plus parsley and spices, creating a well-balanced filling. The mixture is shaped into logs, wrapped tightly in thawed puff pastry, sealed with egg wash for a golden finish, and sliced into portions.
Baking at 350°F (180°C) cooks the sausage rolls evenly, resulting in crisp, flaky pastry enveloping a moist, savory meat mixture. These rolls are versatile for parties, snacks, or light meals.
They can be frozen after assembly or baking for convenient reheating later, making them suitable for preparing in advance or storing leftovers.
Ingredients
FILLING
- 7 ounces Bacon minced or finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1 small carrot finely shredded/grated
- 1 talk celery finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds ground
- 8 ounces ground pork
- 8 ounces ground beef
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped, fresh
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch black pepper cracked
ASSEMBLE
- 2 ½ heets puff pastry thawed, frozen
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
Instructions
FILLING
- Fry bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes until just starting to crisp and bacon releases grease. Add onion, celery and carrot to the pan, sauté for 2 minutes or until veggies have softened. Sauté the garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds).Transfer to bowl and let mixture cool for 10 minutes.
- Add remaining FILLING ingredients to the bowl and mix well using your hands.
ASSEMBLE
- Lightly flour a work bench. Cut one pastry sheet in half and lay one half down in front of you.
- Spoon ⅕th of the filling down the middle of the sheet and press/shape into a compact log.
- Brush edge of pastry with egg then roll up. Lightly press/seal on the edge with egg wash and arrange seam-side down.
BAKE
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, or lightly grease with nonstick cooking oil spray.
- Slice each log into four equal pieces for party-sized sausage rolls, or two pieces for long full-sized sausage rolls. Brush the tops with egg wash.
- Arrange rolls on baking sheets and bake for 30-35 minutes, rotating baking sheets around halfway through cook time to ensure they bake evenly. The pastry should be crispy and golden brown.
- Let cool to the touch. Serve hot (or warm) with ketchup/tomato sauce.
Notes
- Cooked sausage rolls freeze well, making them convenient for future snacks or meals.
