CHEF JOHN'S SAUSAGE ROLLS
People often bake the sausage roll whole, then cut it up. But I've found that if you cut them into individual rounds first, the crispier results more than make up for the extra work. I like to eat mine dipped in a bit of mustard.

Steps:
- Place ground pork, onions, garlic, sage, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, coriander, thyme, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl. Mix with a fork until ingredients are evenly distributed, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide mixture in half and place each half on a length of plastic wrap. Use your damp fingers to shape each half into a cylinder, approximately the same length as the puff pastry. Roll up in the plastic and form into a round roll. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Whisk egg with water to make the egg wash.
- Separate the semi-frozen puff pastry dough into thirds. Halve one of the thirds lengthwise. Bring pastry to room temperature. Brush a 2-inch strip of egg wash along 1 long edge of the 2 larger pastry pieces. Place the narrower pieces on the egg wash strip, overlapping about 1 inch, to make a wider piece of pastry dough. Press lightly to form 2 wide lengths of pastry dough.
- Transfer 2 sheets of dough to a lightly floured piece of parchment paper; dust tops lightly with flour. Cover with another sheet of parchment. Roll gently to achieve an even thickness. Remove top sheet of parchment. Flatten the longs edges of the dough slightly about 1 inch wide so that when the roll-up is completed, the seam side won't be thicker than the rest of the dough. Place a sausage log at the end of a pastry sheet. Begin to roll the sausage log in the pastry, brushing the far edge with egg wash before sealing the edges together. Place seam side down on parchment and place on a dish. Repeat with 2nd sausage roll. Freeze until dough firms up, about 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat.
- Place rolls on a lightly floured surface. Lightly brush top and sides with egg wash. Cut each roll into 8 pieces. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Place on prepared baking sheet seam side down (standing up). Lightly press each roll to flatten it slightly so they don't fall over when baking.
- Place in preheated oven; bake until nicely browned, pastry is cooked through, and bottoms are browned, about 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Place the onion, garlic and carrots into a large food processor.
- Blitz until everything is finely chopped.
- Heat some olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- Cook the onion mixture with a good pinch of salt for 3-5 minutes, or until the mixture starts to soften.
- Remove the onion mixture to a large mixing bowl and let it cool completely.
- Meanwhile, add the pork, parsley, salt, pepper, dried herbs and Worcestershire sauce to the food processor.
- Pulse for just a few seconds until the meat has an almost paste-like texture. You can skip this step if you prefer your sausage roll filling to have a chunkier texture.
- Remove the meat mixture to the mixing bowl with the onion mixture, and add the breadcrumbs.
- Use your hands to mix everything together until all of the ingredients are well combined.
- If you want to check the filling for seasoning, I recommend pinching off a small piece of the filling and roll it into a small patty or meatball. Fry the patty in a small pan with some oil, and taste for seasoning.
- For this recipe, I use 2 rectangular sheets of puff pastry which are 25 x 42 cm/10 x 16 inches in size.
- Cut the pastry in half lengthwise so that you have two narrow strips of pastry (12.5 cm/5 inches wide).
- Use your hands to place the filling in the middle of one strip of pastry. You want to form a long sausage which is roughly one-third of the width of the pastry.
- Make the egg wash by beating the egg and milk together in a small bowl.
- Brush one side of the pastry length with some egg wash.
- Carefully lift one side of the pastry over the sausage filling, and continue until the filling is fully encased in the pastry.
- Make sure the seam is on the bottom.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the sausage roll into whatever lengths you like. For entertaining, I suggest making the sausage rolls about 4 cm/1.5 inches long. Otherwise, I typically cut my sausage rolls about 8 cm/3 inches long.
- Cut a few slits in the pastry of each sausage roll.
- Repeat the above steps with the remaining filling and pastry.
- If it is quite warm in your kitchen, I recommend putting the uncooked sausage rolls into the fridge for about 30 minutes before baking. This helps to prevent the pastry from shrinking upon baking.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F (without fan).
- Place the sausage rolls onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
- Brush the sausage rolls with some egg wash.
- Sprinkle the sausage rolls with some sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or just some coarse sea salt and coarsely cracked black pepper.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Depending on how big or small your sausage rolls are, you may need to adjust the time slightly.
- Serve hot or warm with some tomato sauce (ketchup) or Cherry Tomato Relish.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Cut the pastry sheet into 8 equal squares.
- Skin the sausages, then lay the meat from one sausage in the middle of a pastry square. Put 2 sage leaves on top. Brush a little egg on one side then seal the pastry squares using your fingers to create a crimped edge. Repeat to make 7 more.
- Transfer to a lightly greased baking tray, brush with more egg and bake for 25-30 mins until golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow to cool for a few mins then run a palette knife underneath to loosen the sausage rolls. They can be eaten hot or cold. For a picnic, simply cool and pop into a container, layered with baking parchment. Will keep for 2 days in the fridge.

SAUSAGE ROLLS
Though the concept of sausage wrapped in pastry exists in every cuisine in one way or another, the British have claimed sausage rolls as their own. They are always welcome, especially at holiday time. Boxing Day, a national holiday in Britain, celebrates the traditional post-Christmas servants' day off, when upper-class families were forced to fend for themselves and subsist for a day on a lavish buffet of leftover feasts from the week. Sausage rolls are often part of the spread. A pleasantly spiced homemade sausage mixture is easy to make up with a pound or two of ground pork shoulder, not too lean. They are usually made with all-butter puff pastry (often frozen store-bought, a good option); these are wrapped in a very flaky lard and butter pastry. Both the pastry and the sausage filling can be made a day ahead.

Steps:
- Make the pastry: Put flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Work in lard with fingertips until completely absorbed. Add butter cubes and ice water and mix with a wooden spoon to form a sticky dough. Dust dough with flour and pat into a rough square about 1 inch thick. Wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
- Make the sausage filling: Put pork in a mixing bowl. Add salt, pepper, cayenne, coriander, nutmeg, mace, thyme, sage and parsley. Working quickly with wet hands, incorporate seasoning evenly. Divide mixture into 4 equal pieces (1/2 pound each) and roll each piece into a 9-inch sausage length. Cover and refrigerate.
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Roll pastry into a rectangle 9 inches by 24 inches. Cut rectangle in half lengthwise and crosswise to form four rectangles 4 1/2 inches by 12 inches. Lay 1 sausage in the center of each rectangle and moisten 1 of the long edges with a bit of water. Wrap dough around sausage and press edges together to make a log. With the seam side down, cut each log into 6 pieces.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Arrange 12 pieces on each sheet and brush each piece well with egg wash. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until pastry is crisp and golden and sausage is cooked. Cool for 5 minutes before serving, or serve at room temperature.

PORK AND CRANBERRY SAUSAGE ROLLS
Sounds delicious; sounds SO easy: found this recipe in today's 'Herald Sun Sunday magazine' and just had to post it here for safe-keeping! LOVE sage - and I'll most probably add rosemary to the sage as I have a nifty Rosemary and Sage grinder and I've discovered that these two work just SO well together. I'm planning on making these for over the Christmas break. And I'll certainly be adding minced garlic. UPDATE: since two reviewers have found that their sausage rolls were slightly burnt on the bottoms, if you know your oven is inclined to be perhaps hotter than some other ovens, perhaps cook them at a slightly lower temperature even if they take a bit longer to cook.
