LAMB, HARISSA AND ALMOND SAUSAGE ROLLS



Lamb, Harissa and Almond Sausage Rolls image

In this sassy twist on a classic sausage roll, the Australian chef Paul Allam of Bourke Street Bakery riffs on North African flavors to create something fragrant, rich and generously spiced. Harissa pastes can vary widely in heat content; Mr. Allam uses a moderately hot homemade paste in his recipe. If your harissa is especially potent, consider using half the amount called for here.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 sausage rolls

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup whole blanched almonds
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small yellow, red or white onion, diced
1/3 cup diced roasted red peppers (from a jar, or roasted over the flames of a gas stove)
1 tablespoon harissa paste
1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pound ground lamb (or beef, dark meat turkey or plant-based meat)
1/4 cup uncooked couscous
1/3 cup currants
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (14- to 16-ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed but still cold
1 egg, beaten, for egg wash
Poppy seeds, for sprinkling (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place almonds on baking sheet and roast until lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Pour almonds onto a cutting board to cool slightly. (Reserve baking sheet and parchment.) Coarsely chop almonds and place in large mixing bowl. Lower oven temperature to 375 degrees.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium. Add onion and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add roasted red peppers, harissa and ¼ teaspoon salt and cook for another 2 minutes. Transfer onion mixture to the bowl with the almonds and let cool.
  • Add ground lamb, couscous, currants, pepper and the remaining salt to almonds. Using your hands, mix thoroughly until well combined.
  • Roll the chilled puff pastry dough to about 1/8-inch thick. Cut pastry into 4 equal rectangles. In the center of each pastry, dollop a quarter of the lamb mixture, then form it into a long sausage running lengthwise on the pastry strip. Lightly brush one long edge of the pastry with egg wash. Starting with the side without the egg wash, firmly fold the pastry over the meat filling to form long rolls, pinching to seal. Place on prepared baking sheet, seam-sides down.

Toasted Almond Chicken Rolls image

Flattened or butterflied boneless chicken breasts rolled around a simple and light filling, with an interesting texture and taste.

Provided by Mr. Big Business

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup sliced almonds
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups baby spinach leaves
⅓ cup bottled red wine vinaigrette

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the breasts with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/4 inch; set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the almonds, and cook until dark, golden-brown, about 10 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
  • Lay the chicken breasts out onto your work surface and evenly divide the toasted almonds among them. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese, then arrange the spinach leaves over top. Roll each chicken breast into a log and secure with toothpicks. Pour half of the vinaigrette into a 7x11-inch baking dish. Place the chicken rolls into the baking dish seam-side-down. Pour the remaining vinaigrette over the rolls.
  • Cook the chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let the breasts rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

History of Almond Rolls

Almond rolls are a pastry that has a long history. Their origins date back to the 16th century in France, where they were known as croquignoles. These were typically deep-fried beignets that were shaped like a roll. The recipe was passed down from generation to generation and slowly evolved to its current form. In the 19th century, the recipe changed to use a mix of almond paste and sugar, which is now a typical filling for almond rolls.

Ingredients of Almond Rolls

To make almond rolls, you will need a few simple ingredients. The dough is typically made from flour, sugar, butter, and eggs. The filling is a mix of almond paste, sugar, and egg whites. Here is a list of the ingredients required to make almond rolls:

Assembling the Almond Rolls:
  1. Place a small spoonful of filling onto the wide end of each triangle of dough.
  2. Roll up the dough from the wide end to the tip, then turn the edges inward to create a crescent shape.
  3. Place the almond rolls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Bake the almond rolls for 15-20 minutes at 350°F, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  5. Remove the almond rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Almond rolls are flavorful and nutrient-packed snacks that can be made in many variations. They are a great substitute for candy and other sugary treats. Rolled up in dough, there are endless possibilities for flavor combinations. Whether it be fruit, spices, or chocolate, almond rolls recipes can be tailored to suit everyone's taste preferences. Here are some tips on how to make the perfect almond rolls.

Tip 1: Use the Right Ingredients

Using high-quality ingredients is essential to making delicious almond rolls. The dough needs to be made with fresh ingredients that will produce a soft, tender roll. Using old flour or yeast can damage the dough and result in hard, dense almond rolls. The filling also needs fresh ingredients with a good texture and flavor. Use high-quality chopped almonds, fruits, chocolate chips, or other ingredients for the best results.

Tip 2: Kneading the Dough

Kneading the dough is an important step in making great almond rolls. Kneading helps to develop the gluten in the dough, giving it elasticity and structure. To knead the dough, place it on a floured surface and press down with the heels of your hand. Fold the dough in half and press down again with the heels of your hand. Repeat this process for 10-15 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Over-kneading the dough can result in tight and dense rolls.

Tip 3: Properly Rolling the Dough

Rolling the dough is another critical step in making great almond rolls. To roll the dough into the desired shape, spread it out into a rectangle using a rolling pin. The dough should be between ¼ and ½ inch thick, depending on the recipe. Once the dough is the right size and thickness, spread the filling on top of the dough. Keeping the filling evenly distributed is important to ensure that the almond rolls have a consistent flavor throughout.

Tip 4: Filling the Rolls

The filling can be varied depending on personal preference. Sweeteners such as honey or maple syrup can be added to sweeten the filling. The mix should have a protein source, either with nuts or seeds to help keep on full. Dried fruit such as raisins, cherries, or cranberries can be added to give some texture and flavor. Once the filling has been added, roll the dough up tightly into a log shape. Start at one end of the rectangle and use your hands to encourage the dough to stick to the filling.

Tip 5: Cutting the Rolls

When cutting the rolls, use a long, sharp knife to get clean cuts. Make sure to slice the dough with a sharp blade and try to avoid using a sawing motion as this may damage the dough. A serrated knife can also be used to make clean cuts. The almond rolls should be cut into even slices, about ¾ to 1 inch thick, depending on the recipe. Place the rolls in a baking dish and let them rise for about 30 minutes to an hour.

Tip 6: Baking the Rolls

Baking your almond rolls at the right temperature and for the appropriate time is critical to their success. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified in the recipe, usually around 375°F. Once the rolls have risen, brush them with egg wash or a mixture of milk and sugar to give them a beautiful, golden-brown color. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Checking halfway through time and rotating the pan will help even cooking as all ovens heat differently.

Tip 7: Storing the Almond Rolls

Once your almond rolls are cool, it's important to store them in a proper container. Use airtight containers or sealable bags to store the rolls. The temperature of the storage location is also important. The almond rolls should be stored in a cool, dry location, as warmth and humidity can cause them to spoil. If properly stored, almond rolls can last for 3-4 days in the fridge and up to 2 months in the freezer.

Conclusion

In conclusion, making almond rolls is relatively easy, and the ingredients can be customized to suit everyone's taste preferences. These tips and tricks can be used to create the perfect almond rolls recipe at home. By using high-quality ingredients, kneading, rolling, and cutting the dough correctly, and properly baking and storing the almond rolls, they will be a delicious and nutritious snack that everyone will enjoy.
