Unique Sausage Rolls Recipe

 Ingredients:

– 1 lb (450 g) sausage meat (you can use pork, chicken, or a mix)
– 1 onion, finely chopped
– 1 clove garlic, minced
– 1 tsp mixed herbs (e.g., thyme, sage, rosemary)
– 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
– 1/4 tsp nutmeg
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
– 1 egg, beaten (for binding)
– 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
– 1 egg, beaten (for glazing)
– Sesame seeds, for sprinkling
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

 Instructions:
1. **Preheat the Oven**: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. **Prepare the Filling**:
– In a large bowl, combine the sausage meat, chopped onion, minced garlic, mixed herbs, black pepper, nutmeg, and breadcrumbs. Mix well.
– Add the beaten egg to the mixture to help bind it together.

3. **Prepare the Pastry**:
– Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
– Cut the pastry into rectangular strips, about 4 inches wide and 6 inches long (adjust the size according to your preference).

4. **Assemble the Rolls**:
– Place a portion of the sausage mixture along one edge of each pastry strip.
– Roll the pastry over the sausage mixture to enclose it, pressing the edges to seal.
– Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

5. **Glaze and Garnish**:
– Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg for a golden glaze.
– Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
– Make a few small slits on top of each roll to allow steam to escape.

6. **Bake**:
– Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the sausage filling is cooked through.

7. **Serve**:
– Let the sausage rolls cool slightly before serving.
– Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
