Ingredients
3 sheets frozen puff pastry
1 egg, lightly beaten
500g sausage meat
1 onion finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh breadcrumbs
3 tbsp Italian parsley, finely chopped
1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
2 tbsp thyme, finely chopped
1 tbsp sage,finely chopped* (minimum, I really like a sagey sausage roll so generally add more)
1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes (optional)
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 tbsp olive oil
Sesame seeds, poppy seeds or a mix (optional)
Instructions
Line two cookie sheets with baking paper.
Saute the onions in the olive oil until translucent. Allow to cool.
Mix all the other ingredients except the pastry and the egg together.
Once the onions are cool, stir them into the meat and herb mix.
Preheat the oven to 180C.
Cut the pastry sheets in half and lightly brush the edges with some of the beaten egg.
Pipe or spoon the meat mixture down the centre of each piece of pastry then fold over, overlapping the edges and placing the join underneath.
Brush the rolls with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the sesame or poppy seeds if using. Cut each roll into 6 pieces.
Place the rolls onto the cooking sheets and bake for 15 minutes. Recduce the heat to 150C and bake for another 15 minutes or until puffed and golden.
