A sample recipe has been provided by the Australian Author Jackie French which will whet your appetite for our fantastic cookbook.
The Sensational Sausage Roll
Filling
- Mix 500 grams pork and veal, or pork mince, or pork and chicken, or at a pinch beef.
- 2 finely grated carrots
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 finely chopped onion
- 1tb fresh thyme leaves
- 4 chopped sage leaves (or other herbs to taste)
- 3 crushed cloves garlic
Optional extras
- 1 cup grated zucchini with an egg
- Finely chopped dried tomatoes (good with a basil flavouring)
- 4tbs parsely
Pastry
You can use filo, puff, or flaky.
Roll up the filling in the pastry. Don't make it too thick, or the pastry will burn before the insides cook, but don't make it stingy either. You can make long or small rolls. I like to join up the pastry by slightly overlapping each sheet and making one enormous sausage, then coiling it up like a mat. This turns a sausage roll into something special enough for a dinner party, but call it .sausage de campange. instead of sausage roll!
Bake at 200c for 15-25 minutes, or until light brown. Small rolls will take less time to cook.
The rolls are best straight from the oven but can be reheated. Keep in a sealed container in the fridge for 3 days or so.
Not suitable to freeze.
