Equipment

  • 2 lined baking trays

Ingredients

Caramelised apple

  • 2 tbsp (2 tbsp) olive oil
  • 2 (2) granny smith apples finely diced
  • 1 (1) brown/yellow onion finely diced
  • 2 tbsp (2 tbsp) brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp (1 tbsp) apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp (1 tsp) fresh thyme leaves

Sausage rolls

  • 500 g (1 lb) ground pork mince
  • caramelised apple mixture see above
  • 3 cloves (2 cloves) garlic minced
  • 2 tsp (2 tsp) ground fennel seeds
  • ½ tsp (½ tsp) chilli flakes
  • ¼ cup (¼ cup) panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp (2 tbsp) milk
  • ½ tsp (½ tsp) salt & pepper
  • 2-3 (2-3) puff pastry sheets

Extras

  • egg wash
  • sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Place a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add oil. Add the onions and sugar before sautéing until the onions become translucent and lightly golden.
  • Add rest of the apple ingredients and cook for another 5-10 minutes until sauce has thickened and the apples caramelise. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F. Line a baking tray with baking paper and set aside.
  • In a bowl, place the pork, breadcrumbs, milk, and then add the cooled apple along with the rest of the ingredients except the pastry. Mix until everything is well combined. Divide the mix into four portions.
  • Place one puff pastry sheet on your bench and using a knife, cut it in half, creating two rectangles. Place a meat portion along one long edge of the puff pastry rectangle. Brush both long edges with some egg wash, and roll up the pastry sheet with the sausage filling, until the edges overlap by about 1 cm.
  • Pinch the two ends together to create a seal. Place it seam side down before cutting the roll into 4 equal pieces. Transfer to the baking tray, separating slightly to allow them to rise as they bake. Continue with the rest of the mixture.
  • Brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle with salt and sesame seeds.
  • Bake in the oven for around 25 minutes or until they are golden brown.
    Serve them warm on their own or with tomato sauce/ketchup!
