Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Crush the garlic and a little salt to a paste using a pestle and mortar, or use the flat of your knife on a chopping board. Mix together with the parsley and stir in 50ml cold water. Place the sausagemeat in a food processor (if using sausages, peel away the skins), turn on to a high speed, pour the garlic-flavoured water into the mixture, then season with pepper.
  2. Unroll the pastry onto a board and cut in half lengthways. Divide the sausage mixture in two and spread along the length of each pastry strip in a cylinder shape, leaving a 1cm edge. Tightly roll the pastry around the sausagemeat and brush the ends with the beaten egg to secure. Use a sharp knife to cut each roll into 10 pieces, each about 2.5cm long, and place on a baking sheet. Can be made up to this point 1 month in advance and frozen. To cook from frozen, simply add 10 mins to cooking time below.
  3. Brush more egg all over the pastry. Place in the oven and cook for 25-35 mins until the pastry is puffed and crisp and the meat has cooked through. Remove and eat hot or cold with tomato ketchup if you like.

    Hello. I made these for the other half's family and they went down a storm. Super easy to make, but i cut them a bit thin, so they were a bit like sausage roll discs, but they somehow seemed even more impressive. One problem, they're a bit too moorish and we all ruined our dinner fromeating too much!

    This is a nice simple recipe and I love sausage rolls, however I prefer the Australian variety. If you want to make the Australian sausage rolls you just substitute pork mince for lean beef mince. I find pork very oily and fatty, whereas beef isn't as much. You can also mix equal quantities of pork and beef together (like a good meatball) to give a nice mixed flavour. For a twist you can add more adventurous flavouring to some of the mince like ground chilli power, paprika, garlic, spring (salad) onions, etc. One or more!
