Ingredients
20g butter
3 tbsp olive oil
Half a small white onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, diced<br>80g breadcrumbs
2 tbsp mixed fresh herbs such as rosemary, thyme and parsley
1 sheet ready-made puff pastry
12 pork sausages, about 350g
1 egg, beaten
Sesame or poppy seeds, optional
Method
Start by making the stuffing. Melt the butter with the olive oil in a pan over a medium heat.
Add the onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened, then add the garlic and cook for a further minute. Stir in the breadcrumbs and herbs and cook for around 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
Season well with salt and pepper and set aside to cool slightly.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Remove the sausage meat from the skins and place it in a bowl. Lightly mix with a fork.
Lay out the puff pastry and gently roll it to stretch it slightly. Spoon or pipe the sausage meat into three long, even strips across the pastry. Brush egg wash between each strip, then spoon the stuffing over the sausage meat.
Cut the pastry into three long strips and roll each one up tightly, sealing the edges underneath. Brush the tops with more egg wash, then cut into rolls around two inches long. Sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds if using.
Place the rolls on a baking tray, leaving space between them, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden and crisp.
