Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 finely chopped medium onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened and golden.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine 500 g pork sausage mince, the sautéed onion, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Step 3: Roll out the 2 puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface to smooth creases. Divide the sausage mixture evenly into two long logs, placing each along the center of each pastry sheet.
  4. Step 4: Brush the edges of the pastry with some of the beaten 1 large egg to help seal. Fold the pastry over the sausage mixture and press the edges firmly to seal completely.
  5. Step 5: Cut each roll into 6 equal pieces and place them seam-side down on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
  6. Step 6: Brush the tops of each sausage roll with the remaining beaten egg to achieve a golden finish.
  7. Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden and the sausage filling is cooked through.
  8. Step 8: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving with tomato sauce or your favorite chutney.
