Everybody loves a classic sausage roll and home made is best. They are so easy to make - a sheet of puff pastry, a few tasty sausages and some herbs or spices. Perfect for a packed lunch or as the ultimate party snack. Here I've used my red onion marmalade to give it a sweet and spicy kick.
You will need -
1 sheet of puff pastry
8-10 sausages (depending on their size) or 400g sausage meat
2 tablespoons of red onion marmalade
black pepper
1 egg (beaten)
Take the pastry sheet out of the fridge at least an hour before you want to use it.
Preheat the oven to 200ºC and line a tray with baking parchment.
Remove the skin from the sausages (I simply snipped them lengthwise with a pair of scissors and pulled off the skin) and put the sausage meat into a bowl. Mash with a fork and then add the red onion marmalade and a few grinds of black pepper. Give it a good mix.
Unroll the pastry sheet onto a board and cut it in half lengthways. Then divide the meat mixture in half and make two sausage shapes to lay down the middle of each pastry length. Brush one side of the pastry with your beaten egg and roll up from the other side. Now chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
When the time is up, cut each length into 6 slices and place on your lined baking tray. With a sharp knife, score two little lines across the top and brush with the remaining beaten egg. Pop into your oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
