Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly dust a clean surface with plain flour. Roll out 2 sheets of puff pastry (approx. 250 g total) into rectangles about 10x12 inches each.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine 500 g pork sausage mince, 1 finely chopped medium onion, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt. Mix gently until ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Step 3: Divide the sausage mixture in half and shape each half into a long log approximately 10 inches in length. Place each sausage log along the edge of a puff pastry rectangle.
  4. Step 4: Brush the edge of the pastry with some beaten egg from the 1 large egg. Roll the pastry tightly around the sausage to enclose the filling completely, sealing the edges well.
  5. Step 5: Place the rolls seam side down on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Brush the tops generously with the remaining beaten egg to encourage browning.
  6. Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is puffed, golden brown, and the sausage filling is cooked through and juices run clear.
  7. Step 7: Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes before slicing into 2-inch pieces. Serve warm or at room temperature.
