Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, combine 500g sausage meat, 1 finely diced medium onion, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix thoroughly until even.
  2. Step 2: Roll out each of the 2 puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface to smooth creases. Cut each sheet in half lengthwise to create four rectangles.
  3. Step 3: Divide the sausage mixture evenly along the center of each rectangle in long strips about 1.5 inches wide.
  4. Step 4: Brush the edges of each pastry strip lightly with some of the 1 beaten egg, then fold the pastry over the sausage filling, sealing the edges by pressing with your fingers or a fork.
  5. Step 5: Transfer the rolls onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops generously with the beaten egg to achieve a golden finish.
  6. Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden brown and the sausage is cooked through. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
