Instructions

Preparing the Filling

  1. Place a pan on low heat, add olive oil and gently sauté shallots along with the garlic until soft and slightly caramelized.
  2. Add the fennel seeds to the pan, sauté for another minute, and place them in a large bowl.
  3. When the sautéed shallots are slightly cooled down, add the sausage meat, egg white, chopped herbs, freshly ground black pepper, and salt.
  4. Mix them until they are nicely combined, without overmixing.

Building the Sausage Rolls

  1. Preheat the oven to 180° C (360° F).
  2. Unroll the shortcrust pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it in half lengthwise to create two long rectangular pastries.
  3. Divide the sausage mixture into 2, and lay them along the length of each of the pastry rectangles about 2 cm - 1" in from the edge.
  4. Lightly brush the edge of both pastries and fold the pastry over the meat to create the sausage roll shape.
  5. Cut each sausage roll into 8 with a sharp knife, making 16 mini sausage rolls in total.
  6. Place the mini sausage rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Eggwash them with a pastry brush, and sprinkle on some sesame seeds and nigella seeds.
  8. Bake them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the pastry is crispy and golden, and the filling is cooked through.

Notes

  • Preheat your oven thoroughly to 180° C (360° F) before baking your mini Sausage Rolls.
  • You can make these deliciously crispy and golden Sausage Rolls with ready-rolled puff pastry if you prefer.
  • If using frozen shortcrust pastry, give it enough time in the fridge to defrost before using it for making Mini Sausage Rolls.
  • Make sure the sausage meat is cooked until it reaches 74° C (165° F). 
  • You can use ground lamb or beef with a high-fat content to create these Mini Sausage Rolls for no-pork eaters.
  • You can store the leftover Mini Sausage Rolls refrigerated in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
  • These Mini Sausage Rolls wrapped in shortcrust pastry freeze beautifully! You can either freeze them before or after baking and keep them for up to 3 months in the freezer.
