proper sausage rolls and a veggie version

Total
Yield 16 sausage rolls
The recipe for the sausage rolls isn't much of a recipe at all, so we thought we'd bulk it out by including a veggie alternative that isn't just using vegetarian sausages, although you can do so. The veggie version is called pea pastizzi and comes from Sabrina Ghayour's FEASTS book that we keep banging on about!
Ingredients
to make the meaty sausage rolls (makes ten)
- 100g ready rolled light puff pastry (20 syns)
- whatever six sausages you like - we use syn-free sausages from Musclefood, but you can use anything here
- one red onion chopped
- a pinch of garlic
- pepper
- an egg
to make the veggie pea alternatives (makes ten):
- 100g ready rolled light puff pastry (20 syns)
- two large fat garlic cloves
- one large onion, chopped fine
- 300g tin of marrowfat peas
- 1 tablespoon of curry powder
- 1 large egg
- pinch of salt
Instructions
for the meaty sausage rolls:
- preheat the oven to 200°c
- squeeze the sausagemeat from the sausages and fry in the pan with the finely chopped onion and garlic - the little bit of fat will soften the onions, so no need to add oil
- add a good twist of pepper
- take your puff pastry, roll it out - I prefer to actually roll it out a little thinner than it usually is, but you know, up to you
- cut into ten squares
- spoon the cooked sausage meat into each square and fold over the sides into a nice roll shape
- wash with beaten egg and into the oven they go for 20 minutes or so to cook nicely
- if you want, cut them in half again when cooked for 1-syn taster night sausage rolls
Easy! Do you see what I mean though - it's an easy recipe! Cook off the sausagemeat, add into puff pastry and cook.
for the veggie pea alternatives:
- soften the onions by cooking them off in a little oil, adding the garlic as they get nice and golden
- add the peas, curry powder, pinch of pepper and a good dash of dalt
- allow everything to cook for about five minutes and soften and mash gently
- do as you did above - roll out your pastry, spoon in your mixture, fashion into rolls, egg-wash the top and whack them in the oven for twenty minutes or so
Notes
- as you have no doubt noticed, FEASTS is my favourite book at the moment - every last thing we've cooked from there has been a delight - you can pick it up cheap on Amazon
- always mince your garlic - save your stinky fingers by using one of these!
- plenty of sausages in our Musclefood deals!
