Ingredients

  • 8 rashers smoked streaky bacon
  • 16 chipolatas

Method

  1. Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Cut the bacon rashers in half. Wrap a piece of bacon around each of the chipolatas.

  2. Place on a baking tray and cook for 30-35 mins until golden.

  • Recipe Tip

    Twists: Chipolatas & sage

    Wash and dry 16 sage leaves. Lay 1 sage leaf on each chipolata before wrapping in bacon. Put 1 tbsp honey in a bowl and brush each bacon-wrapped sausage with a little honey before cooking as per the recipe above. 

  • Recipe Tip

    Twists: Black pudding-stuffed dates

    Instead of sausages, fill 16 pitted dates with 50g black pudding. Wrap the stuffed dates with bacon and secure with a cocktail stick. Brush over 1 tsp wholegrain mustard mixed with 1 tsp brandy before roasting as per the recipe above.

  • Recipe Tip

    Twists: Bacon-wrapped butternut squash & chestnuts

    Instead of sausages, cut 100g peeled butternut squash into 16 chunks and boil for 5 mins, then drain and leave to steam-dry. Halve 8 marrons glacés (or 8 chestnuts if you can’t find them), and place each half on top of a chunk of squash. Wrap each bundle with a piece of bacon, then secure each one together with a cocktail stick before roasting as per the recipe above.
