Method

  1. Whizz the chicken and garlic in a processor until the chicken is minced. Tip in the bacon, sundried tomatoes and basil. Pulse for 5 secs to just mix through. Season well.
  2. Roll the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut in half lengthways. Spread half the chicken mixture along the middle of one of the pastry strips, then roll up the pastry, pinching the ends together to seal. Using a sharp knife, cut into 2.5cm long pieces. Repeat with the remaining pastry strip. Can be frozen, uncooked, for up to 1 month.
  3. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place the rolls on a large baking sheet. Brush with the egg, then sprinkle with seeds. Bake for 20 mins until golden.

    Can anyone suggest what to use instead of sun dried tomatoes in this...I know you're not supposed to admit it, but I really don't like them! :o) Ooh...just had a thought...do you think roasted red peppers would work?

    Would ordinary tomatoes work, if you skinned and deseeded them? I dont like the sun dried ones either....

    I'm with you re the sun-dried tomatoes. Skinned roasted red pepperes sound nice. Or how about apples for a twist? And I think I'd add a squeeze of lemon juice to the chicken mixture. Mushrooms would be nice -- especially porcinis!

    does anyone know how to make these gluten and wheat free? So many recipes now I can't use as newly diagnosed with this intolerence. I agree red peppers would be lovely but as I love sundried toms not a problem for me just the pastry!!

    These look and sound great, I will make them for my daughters birthday party. If I make and freeze could I cook from frozen or would I need to defrost? Dont want to give food poisoning to 20 3 year olds! Maxine

    Jane's Kitchen : the only way to make them gluten free is to make the pastry yourself (I don't see why shortcrust wouldn't work just as well, as making Puff is a pain in the butt). If you're based in the U.K., then Doves Farm (they have a website) make a selection of gluten free flours which are great! Good luck!

    Have just cook these beautiful sausage rolls, one batch we are eating now the others I have frozen for a friends party later in August. I cook in Bulgaria. so shopping for ingredients can be a real challenge, no problem this time, though. I sun ripe my own tomatoes but did not have any at this time, so use fresh from the garden, took out seeds, fresh basil also from the garden perfected the taste. Really easy to make.

    I made these for a picnic yesterday and despite the numerous downpours we had a fab time, I used minced turkey instead of chicken as it's slightly cheaper (as I was providing the whole food for the picnic) and they were delicious. I would definitely make them again and will even try adding roasted peppers as well as the sun-dried tomatoes. These will definitely be staying on my picnic must haves for next time!

    Really lovely and easy to make. Best eaten on the day as they become a little dry the following day. I will definitely make them again, maybe experimenting with different fillings.

    These were lovely! I didn't have any sun-dried tomatoes but had some sun-dried tomato puree which worked just as well. We cooked half and froze half uncooked which defrosted and cooked just fine.
