homemade sausage rolls

B4 requested homemade sausage rolls for lunch on his birthday.

These are really yummy and use ordinary mince not sausage mince.

I used kangaroo as that's what we buy these days, but any mince would be fine.

I actually started to write out this recipe when B2 came into the room and said, "Haven't you done that before?", sure enough when I looked I found I had done a post on it last year here. 

So if you want to make these delicious sausage rolls look them up.

Note to self check before posting if you have already shared the recipes. 

I found after posting my apple pie recipe that I had done it last year as well! OOPS!

What goes better with homemade tomato sauce than homemade sausage rolls! We had these for lunch the other day, they are also great for a party. This recipe comes from a cooking magazine. I have doubled the recipe for my family and made some other adjustments from the original. If you want less just halve the recipe.

Sausage Rolls

Ingredients:

4 slices wholemeal bread
1 medium carrot, grated
1 medium zucchini, grated
1kg mince
1 onion finely chopped
1/4 C tomato chutney (you could use sauce or tomato relish - for a spicy mix add chilli sauce instead)
6 sheets frozen puff pastry partially thawed
2 T milk

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 220 C. Line two large trays with baking paper
2. Place bread in bowl and cover with warm water, stand for 5 minutes and then drain. Squeeze bread to remove excess moisture.
3. Place grated carrot and zucchini (you may want to squeeze excess moisture from these), bread, mince, onion and chutney into a bowl and mix to combine.
4. Cut pastry sheets in half. Shape a handful of mince into a long sausage along the edge of a piece of pastry. Brush opposite side with milk, and roll up to encase filling. Cut into size you want (I usually do 4 or 6). Place with the seam side down on tray. Repeat with remaining mixture.
5. Brush tops of sausage rolls with milk and place into the oven. Bake for 20- 25 minutes until puffed and golden. Cool on tray for 5 minutes before serving with tomato sauce.
