My Savoury Pork Sausage Rolls

My Savoury Pork Sausage Rolls are simply the best sausage rolls, lightly seasoned with sage and onion . They are full of flavour and are so simple to create. Succulent pork and savoury herbs perfectly compliment each other, all warped up in a flaky, buttery puff pastry jacket.
This recipe will make eight normal sausage rolls or twenty four cocktail sausage rolls. They are great for light lunches, parties or buffets. A simple, great tasting, savory treat that is sure to impress.

PORK SAUSAGE ROLLS INGREDIENTS

  • PUFF PASTRY: The quality of some store bought pastry is second to none and is a real time saver, perfect for quick, simple recipes like this.
  • MINCED PORK: Get the best minced pork you can, i prefer an 80/20 meat to fat ratio. This creates a more succulent and flavourful sausage meat that isn’t too dry.
  • BREADCRUMBS: Home made or store bought is good. The breadcrumb absorbs fat and helps retain moisture.
  • GARLIC: Crushed or minced organic garlic for flavour.
  • HERBS: A selection of savoury herbs to infuse the meat include: sage, time, marjoram and oregano.
  • SEASONING: Salt and pepper
  • ONION: Finely diced or puree onion adds flavour and moisture. I have used an organic white onion.
  • MUSTARD: Dijon mustard has a sweet and spicy sour flavour that compliments meats very well and brings a balance to these rolls. You can of course substitute your preferred mustard of choice here.
  • SESAME SEEDS: Used for decoration and add a unique flavour to the sausage roll when roasted.
  • AN EGG: Free range organic egg used for egg washing and sealing the pastry.
