Sausage Roll

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: English
Servings: 8 sausage rolls

Ingredients

Sausage Filling

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/4 onion, minced
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1 tbsp fennel seeds, ground
  • 1 tsp fenugreek
  • 2 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp caraway seeds
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp panko

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, defrosted
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp water

Instructions

  • Heat a frying pan with non-stick spray over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, onion, and shallot. Saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the butter and allow to melt.
  • Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool completely. Once cooled add the ground pork, ground fennel, fenugreek, thyme, caraway seeds, black pepper, salt, worcestershire sauce, and panko. Mix until well combined.
  • Split the ground meat into two equal portions. Place each a sheet of plastic wrap. Shape until a cylinder about the length of the puff pastry sheet. Roll up and place in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  • In a small bowl whisk together and egg and the water and set aside. Place the sheet of puff pastry on a floured counter. Cut in half. Take one of the halves and, with a rolling pin, roll the dough out slightly at the edges. This is the part that will be rolling against each other so you don’t want the dough to be too thick in this section.
  • Take the cold pork log out of the refrigerator and place near one of the end of the puff pastry, as pictured above. On the opposite end of the pastry brush the egg wash. Tightly roll the sausage roll. Pinch the puff pastry together.
  • Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the freezer. Repeat with the other portion. Allow to rest in the freezer for 20 minutes. Preheat an oven to 450°F.
  • Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray. Take the sausage rolls out of the freezer and unwrap from the plastic wrap. Cut each into 4 equal pieces and place on the baking sheet. Brush each of the pieces with egg wash. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. 
  • Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350°F and bake for another 20 minutes or until the pork registers a temperature of 160°F.
