Servings: 12 Rolls
Calories: 200kcal
Ingredients
- 320 g Puff Pastry
- 40 g Sausage Meat
- 50 g Dried Apricots, chopped
- 1 tsp Dried Thyme
- 2 tbsp Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 tsp Sea Salt
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 100 g Apricot Jam
- 1 Egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp Black Onion Seeds For Topping, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or 400°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix together sausage meat, chopped apricots, thyme, and breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper, and combine well.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to about 3mm thick. Cut it into two long rectangles. If easier, you can roll the puff pastry out in portions.
- Spoon a thin layer of apricot jam on top of the pastry, leaving a gap at each side.
- Divide the sausage mixture in half and shape each portion into a long log. Place each sausage log along the centre of the puff pastry rectangles on top of the jam.
- Brush the edges of the pastry with a little beaten egg. Fold the pastry over the sausage mixture and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to seal the edges together underneath.
- Cut each long sausage roll into smaller pieces, about 4-5 cm each. Place them seam-side down on the prepared baking tray. Leave space in between each one to allow for expansion.
- Score the top of each sausage rolls with a few diagonal lines then brush the tops of the sausage rolls with the beaten egg. Optionally, sprinkle with black onion seeds.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed, and the sausage filling is cooked through.
- Let the sausage rolls cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Recipe Notes
- Make sure all ingredients are chilled before use for the best results. Don't allow the pastry to get too warm before baking.
- Store at room temperature in an airtight container for 2 days. Alternatively, you can freeze them unbaked for up to 3 months.
